"Robbie G.K. (Robbie Graham-Kuntz), from the wildly popular hockey romance series Heated Rivalry, was in the house, seated in the lower bowl with his friends. Robbie plays the character Kip Grady, a history-loving smoothie shop barista, in the show. "Hey, what's up Canucks fans? It's Robbie GK here. You might recognize me from Kip from the show, 'Heated Rivalry.' I am clearly here at the Canucks game for Pride Night. Very happy to be here and support this great event and go, Canucks! Go!""
"The Canucks gave Robbie a Pride Jersey ahead of the game, specially designed by Vancouver-based linocut printmaker and illustrator, Brent Haddow. They later introduced Robbie to the crowd during a TV timeout in the second period. Underneath his Canucks' Pride jersey, Robbie revealed that he was wearing a Scott Hunter jersey from the New York Admirals. The gesture was a nod to his character's secret relationship with Hunter, a closeted NHL star, in the series."
Robbie G.K. attended the Vancouver Canucks' Pride Night at Rogers Arena, sitting in the lower bowl with friends and greeting fans as Kip Grady from Heated Rivalry. The Canucks presented him with a Pride jersey designed by Vancouver linocut printmaker and illustrator Brent Haddow and introduced him to the crowd during a TV timeout. Robbie revealed a Scott Hunter New York Admirals jersey underneath, referencing his character's secret relationship with a closeted NHL star in the series. Robbie appears in three episodes, streams on HBO Max and Crave, is Ontario-born, acclaimed in musical theatre, and plays rugby in Vancouver. The show is inspired by Rachel Reid's Game Changers novel about a secret romance between rival hockey players.
