Pucking Rivals

Sizzling hot hockey romance meets live improvised comedy!

Inspired by viral BookTok hits Heated Rivalry and Off Campus, Pucking Rivals brings your favourite hockey romance tropes to the stage with absolutely no script.

Fierce rivals. Forbidden chemistry. Locker room tension. Championship stakes. Anything can happen.

Our players will take your suggestions and create a brand new hockey romance live on stage.

Whether you’re here for romance, hockey, comedy, or just a sexy cast pretending they know how hockey works, Pucking Rivals promises a hilarious night of big feelings, ridiculous situations and seriously steamy chemistry.
