Province of Canada Is Releasing the Heated Rivalry Fleece
Ever since Episode 2 of Heated Rivalry aired and Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams) skated into our screens wearing the show’s official Team Canada fleece for the fictional 2014 Sochi Olympics, we’ve been obsessed. Not casually “oh that’s cute” obsessed, but the kind of obsession where we immediately started plotting how to get one for ourselves. Screenshots were taken. Group chats were activated. The internet collectively agreed: that fleece needed to be real.
Well, consider this our victory lap—because that dream is officially coming true.
Province of Canada, a Canadian clothing company, has teamed up with Heated Rivalry’s creative team to release the zip-up Team Canada fleece, and honestly? It feels like a gift directly to the fandom. Yes, folks, you read that right. The fleece is coming. “We’re releasing the fleece,” apparel company Province of Canada wrote on its website and social media accounts Wednesday morning, instantly sending Heated Rivalry fans into a full-blown frenzy.
The zip-up fleece will be produced and distributed by the Toronto-based brand, which is known for its high-quality construction, thoughtful sourcing, and commitment to Canadian-made apparel. While there’s no word yet on pricing or an official release date, Province of Canada has confirmed they’ll be sharing those details once they’re finalized. What has been announced, however, is that 10% of the profits from the fleece will be donated to an LGBTQ+ charity organization, which will be revealed at a later date—a move that feels especially fitting for a series with such a passionate queer fanbase.
Executive producers Jacob Tierney and Brendan Brady shared their excitement about the collaboration in a statement, saying, “We’re so excited to partner with Province of Canada. As a Canadian-based, independent apparel brand that does amazing work sourcing and manufacturing high-quality clothing, we share a common ethos. We look forward to bringing it to life with the creativity and care fans expect.” That shared ethos is clear, and it’s part of why this fleece release feels so intentional rather than rushed.
For fans, this Team Canada fleece represents a rare moment when on-screen fashion actually becomes accessible off-screen. It’s not a limited prop locked away in a studio archive; it’s a real, wearable piece that lets fans bring a little bit of Heated Rivalry into their everyday lives. Whether you’re planning to wear it to binge-watch the series again, layer it for winter, or simply add it to your growing collection of queer TV merch, this fleece is shaping up to be a must-have.
