A sea of women and a scattering of men packed into the Regal Sherman Oaks Galleria Sunday night for a cinematic experience. Not to see a new movie, but to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the hit HBO Max-Crave series “Heated Rivalry.”

Based on Rachel Reid’s bestselling “Game Changers” books and adapted by Jacob Tierney, the queer hockey romance-turned global phenomenon follows the illicit and decades-spanning relationship between two rival hockey stars, Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams) and Ilya Rozanov (Connor Storrie).
