Heated Rivalry wants fans to cool it as season 2 begins production.

The Heated Rivalry official account and creator Jacob Tierney’s production company Accent Aigu Entertainment posted a message to social media Tuesday asking fans not to disrupt filming locations.

“To our incredible fans and everyone who’s been sharing in the excitement for the show: Your support, enthusiasm, and kindness have meant the world to us,” reads the post. “As we gear up for more Heated Rivalry, please help us in making it the best it can be. If you happen to come across one of our filming locations, please give our cast and crew the space they need to do what they do best.”

“We promise it’ll be worth the wait!” the post concludes.

Filming for season 2 is expected to begin this month. Stars Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams have been photographed together around Toronto in recent days.

While season 1 of the Crave/HBO Max hockey romance focuses on the events of the Heated Rivalry novel by Rachel Reid, season 2 will follow its sequel, The Long Game.

Leading with Purpose: Judson W. Robinson III on Leadership, Opportunity, and the Future of Houston

Click here for updates on this story    August 18, 2026 (Houston Style Magazine) -- “It’s rewarding to know that someone’s doing better as a result of your work.” For Judson W. Robinson III, President & CEO of the Houston Area Urban League, that principle is less a slogan than a family inheritance—and a blueprint for Houston’s future.Robinson’s roots run deep in public service. His father, Judson W. Robinson Jr., broke a historic barrier in 1971 as Houston’s first African American elected to City Council since Reconstruction. His mother, Margarette Robinson, built her own trailblazing legacy in nursing, including barrier-breaking roles at Houston’s veterans hospital and the Anheuser-Busch plant. Public service, in the Robinson household, was never just discussed; it was practiced.Robinson carried that tradition into his own City Council service in the 1990s and, since 2008, into leadership of the Houston Area Urban League. The organization, founded in 1968, connects Greater Houston residents with education, workforce development, housing, entrepreneurship, health and social-service resources—an approach centered on strengthening the whole person, not simply solving one problem at a time.photo His leadership style is equally people-centered. Robinson rejects the notion that effective executives must dominate every room. Instead, he leans on collaboration, expertise and what he calls “shared strengths.” In a city as entrepreneurial and culturally layered as Houston, that philosophy feels especially fitting: nobody builds the Bayou City alone.The payoff is measured in changed lives. Robinson recalls clients who arrived seeking help, gained stability and later returned as successful entrepreneurs and supporters. Their journeys reinforce his belief that circumstances should never define potential.As Houston grows, Robinson’s message remains refreshingly clear: create opportunity, protect opportunity and prepare the next generation to seize it.Titles may open doors, but purpose keeps them open for others. For Judson W. Robinson III, that is leadership—and legacy—in action.photo For More Information on Houston Area Urban League (HAUL), go to: HAUL.org Please note: This story was provided to CNN Wire by an affiliate and does not contain original CNN reporting.
