Ho Ho Ho and happy Christmas to all who celebrate!
It's Christmas Eve here at Out.com, and all we can think about is hockey! Heated Rivalry continues to heat up our screens, and now we know it will continue to do so for at least one more season! But we're not just excited about fictional hockey, we're getting into the real thing as well!
The National Hockey League recently released a statement saying that Heated Rivalry is a "unique driver for creating new fans," and we definitely think that's true!
If you agree, and you want to get into real NHL hockey, we've got a perfect list of hot hockey players for you to follow on Instagram! This list includes stars like Connor Bedard, Will Smith, and Tyler Seguin. Check it out!
