By now, whether you are a TV junkie or a hockey fan, odds are you have heard about HBO’s Heated Rivalry. With the social media buzz, media tours and Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams being 2026 Winter Olympic torchbearers, we know that the world is loving the combination of romance, rivalry, and of course, hockey!
Canada’s Alberta is home to a ‘heated’ rivalry of its own, between the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames. Although there are no secret romances (that we know of), this provincial rivalry is built on decades of unforgettable moments, playoff heartbreaks, Stanley Cup appearances, and of course, lots of trash talk!
Similar to Shane and Ilya’s, this rivalry is not casual. It’s a relationship built on history, tension, and emotion for both fans and players.
If you are thinking of vacation spots where you can tie in attending a sporting event, Alberta is the place for you! Whether you’re taking a trip to the national parks, or visiting the province’s small towns, you will not want to miss making a stop on either of the big cities to experience the drama, the passion, the tension and the thrill in real life (minus the famous actors on ice) during an Edmonton Oilers vs Calgary Flames game!
Make unforgettable memories in every part of Alberta, including the stands at the stadium!
