The official Heated Rivalry fleece jacket, which became an internet sensation after appearing on the hit Crave series, is finally available for pre-order through Canadian apparel company Province of Canada. The collaboration was announced on Wednesday, with pre-orders opening June 3 at 9 a.m. Vancouver time.
Jacket Details and Availability
The limited-edition jacket is a replica of the fictional Team Canada fleece worn by character Shane Hollander, portrayed by British Columbia's own Hudson Williams, in Season 1 of Heated Rivalry. The jacket gained popularity after its appearance in a scene set during the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. Fans created countless online tutorials to recreate the jacket and rallied behind the hashtag #ReleaseTheFleece. In the lead-up to the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy, a petition even urged the official Team Canada organization to offer the fleece as official merchandise.
The pre-order will be exclusive to the Province of Canada website. All orders are final sale, with a limit of one jacket per customer. Pricing details have not yet been announced but will be released when the pre-order opens.
Charity and Sizing
Accent Aigu Entertainment, the production company behind the gay hockey romance, and Province of Canada announced that 10 percent of net profits from jacket sales will support You Can Play, a non-profit promoting LGBTQ+ inclusion in sports. Heated Rivalry creator Jacob Tierney stated, "We chose You Can Play because their unwavering dedication to inclusivity mirrors the very heart of Heated Rivalry." The National Hockey League and the National Hockey League Players' Association have also committed to making one-time donations of $25,000 each to You Can Play.
The jacket will be produced in unisex sizing, ranging from XS to 5XL. A size chart is available online. Shipping within Canada is free, while U.S. orders cost $25 CAD. International shipping is available to Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan, with varying rates.
