Overview

  • Accent Aigu Entertainment is partnering with Toronto-based Province of Canada to produce and distribute the white zip-up fleece as official Heated Rivalry merchandise.
  • The jacket will be made in Canada by the domestic apparel brand, reflecting the producers’ emphasis on local manufacturing.
  • Ten percent of proceeds from sales will be donated to an LGBTQ+ charity, which will be named closer to launch.
  • Pricing, sizing, release date and full international shipping details have not been announced, and fans can register online for updates.
  • The fleece is a show-related item rather than official Team Canada Olympic gear, and its release follows a petition and social-media push that gathered roughly 6,000 signatures.
