The Charge Are Making a Move Off the Court
Ottawa's CEBL basketball team, the Ottawa Charge, is blending sports and pop culture in the most fun way possible. The team has publicly extended an invitation to the stars of Heated Rivalry, the buzzy hockey drama series, to attend their upcoming game against the Montreal Victoire on April 3.
The two cast members in question are Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams, whose on-screen chemistry in the show has been turning heads. The Charge are reportedly holding seats for the pair, a clever nod to the show's Montreal-Ottawa rivalry storyline.
Why This Matchup Makes Sense
If you haven't seen Heated Rivalry, here's the short version: the show follows the charged relationship between hockey players on rival Canadian teams. With the Charge's April game happening to be against Montreal, Ottawa's eternal rival city, the timing couldn't be more fitting.
It's a savvy piece of cross-promotion that plays into Ottawa's growing confidence as a sports and entertainment city. The Charge have been building a loyal fanbase, and moments like this are exactly the kind of thing that gets people talking (and buying tickets).
