Get to Know the Characters  \nMorgan Pryor • February 4, 2026, 5:23 pm  \nCrave, Harlequin  \nWHAT TO KNOW  \n Heated Rivalry Season 2 will introduce Troy Barrett from Rachel Reid’s Game Changers series.  \n Troy is featured in Reid’s Role Model, and he also appears in Shane and Ilya’s sequel, The Long Game.  \n Creator Jacob Tierney creator has spoken about Troy’s inclusion in Season 2.  \nHeated Rivalry‘s roster is about to get bigger. While the romance between hockey players Shane (Hudson Williams) and Ilya (Connor Storrie) will remain the focus of Season 2, the show’s second chapter will see “diversions” to other characters, similar to how Season 1 included Scott (François Arnaud) and Kip (Robbie G.K) .  \nWhen Heated Rivalry creator Jacob Tierney spoke to the Los Angeles Times, he was in the middle of breaking Season 2’s story, confirming that one of those diversions would be to another character in Rachel Reid’s Game Changers series, which the show is based on.“Just like you can’t tell the story without Scott Hunter, you can’t really tell the story without Troy Barrett,” Tierney said.  \nTroy’s name might not ring a bell for those unfamiliar with the books, so Swooon—who has become well-versed in all things Game Changers—thought we might introduce you to the character. Like Tierney’s comment suggests, Troy plays a major role in Reid’s The Long Game, which Season 2 will be based on. Keep reading for everything you need to know about Troy and his love interest, Harris, ahead of Season 2.  \nWho is Troy Barrett in Heated Rivalry?  \nBefore he appears in The Long Game, Troy has a small role in Reid’s Tough Guy, and he becomes a main character in Role Model. (It’s worth mentioning that The Long Game and Role Model have overlapping timelines.) When we first meet Troy in Tough Guy, he comes across as nothing more than a bully. His best friend, Dallas Kent, is the biggest bully in the professional hockey league. They’re both star players for the Toronto Guardians, but when Dallas is accused of sexual assault, a blindsided Troy immediately calls him out and cuts him off. Their falling out is captured on camera, and Troy immediately gets backlash from fans and the league.  \nToronto doesn’t want to get rid of Dallas, their best player, so instead, they trade Troy to the Ottawa Centaurs. That’s where Role Model picks up. Once we start reading from his point of view, it’s revealed that Troy is gay and struggling with keeping his sexuality a secret. On top of that, he doesn’t have the best home life, with an absolutely horrible father. So, when he arrives in Ottawa, Troy is going through it. To make matters worse, his secret actor boyfriend suddenly dumped him.  \nBut now, he has Ottawa’s lovable crew of misfits in his corner. Troy isn’t thrilled tobe on one of the worst teams in the league—which Ilya recently became captain of—but slowly but surely, his new teammates break through the walls he put up. Harris Drover, the team’s social media manager, is determined to do just that. Harris and his new circumstances inspire Troy to become a better person and use his platform to speak up for sexual assault victims.  \nWho is Harris Drover in Heated Rivalry?  \nHarris’ personality is pretty much the opposite of Troy’s quiet, brooding one. In Role Model, Troy is immediately envious of how open Harris is about his sexuality. Harris grew up on an apple orchard with his family, all of whom he’s still close with. A lifelong hockey fan, Harris is the driving force behind Ottawa’s social media presence, encouraging all of the players to connect with fans via videos. Everyone on the team loves him, and he loves them right back.  \nThough he’s all sunshine and bubbliness, Harris has a traumatic past: He’s had to undergo multiple surgeries for a congenital heart defect, which h","cbCaie6kIRghDxwc","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaie6kIRghDxwc","pdf",3220602,"English","# Heated Rivalry Season 2角色引入\n## Troy Barrett是谁\n## Harris Drover是谁\n## Season 2中Troy与Harris的登场可能性\n## Troy与Harris的演员与选角线索","[{\"question\":\"Troy Barrett 将如何出现在 Heated Rivalry Season 2？\",\"answer\":\"文章说明，Season 2 将引入来自 Rachel Reid《Game Changers》系列的 Troy Barrett，并与《The Long Game》的剧情基础有关。\"},{\"question\":\"Troy Barrett 在 Role Model 与 Tough Guy 中分别经历了什么？\",\"answer\":\"文中提到 Troy 在《Tough Guy》里被呈现为欺凌者形象，之后因队友 Dallas Kent 的指控而与其决裂并被交易；在《Role Model》里则逐渐从他的视角揭示他对同性身份的隐忍与家庭问题。\"},{\"question\":\"Harris Drover 的背景与性格特点是什么？\",\"answer\":\"文章指出 Harris 性格开朗外向，但有先天性心脏缺陷导致多次手术的创伤经历，并通过他的社交媒体影响力推动球员与粉丝互动，同时他也逐渐被 Troy 吸引并成为支持他的关键人物。\"}]","'Heated Rivalry' - Season 2 - Who Are Troy Barrett & Harris Drover?
