My son Tony and I returned from New York on November 9th celebrating the New York Rangers 100th Anniversary. Much to my surprise and the entire HBO streaming telecast with only 6 episodes it is a hit. Today on "Morning Joe they interviewed Francois Arnavo one of the stars of this ice hockey surprising love story between 2 players. People would not think there is a love story between 2 ice hockey players but in this story shot in 36 hours in Toronto, Canada it is.
It is the talk of the talk shows and apparently very sexy love scenes. "Heated Rivalry" was unknown when I was in New York and now it is the talk of the television industry including on the Golden Globes this past Sunday.
My father Phil Watson came to New York in 1935 when Lester Patrick brought hockey to America and the New York Rangers. He played until 1948 as their Center including winning the Stanley Cup in 1940. Like most hockey players his front teeth were all knocked out and he had dentures. He later coached the Rangers from 1955 to 1960.
He would be thrilled to death to see the attention ice hockey is getting from this HBO show.
