This winter we were absolutely shaken to our collective core by a certain rivals-to-lovers situation… so yes… BY OVERWHELMING, UNHINGED, CAN’T STOP WON’T STOP POPULAR DEMAND ->>> we’re going for a hat trick and throwing ONE LAST GRAND FINALE PARTY!!! 🏒💔🔥 You flooded our DMs, you wrote essays in our inbox, you pestered our staff, and honestly who are we to deny queer joy at this level of emotional athleticism?! So just for you, we’re lacing up for one more HEATED RIVALRY DANCE PARTY: The ultimate homoerotic sports night for everyone who knows nothing about hockey but love everything about gay sex. 🍑💦
