“Hi, moms,” Hudson noted with a smile, with Connor chiming in, “Hi, daughters.”
But it’s not just the moms and daughters of the world who have been tuning into the gay hockey romance. Indeed, Hudson recently reflected on the many closeted LGBTQ+ athletes who have been reaching out since the show premiered in November.
“The people who reach out, somewhat anonymously, who are like, ‘I'm a professional player still, and I'm still in the closet,’” he said in a Jan. 7 clip from his appearance on Andy Cohen’s SiriusXM show Radio Andy. “They’re [also] reaching out to Rachel [Reid], our author, who will then kind of relay these lovely anonymous emails.”
The 24-year-old added of the hockey, football and basketball players he’s heard from, “Sometimes they’re just reaching out privately through Instagram, and those ones are the ones that really just kind of hit you and go, ‘Oh, so this is a fun show, and it’s celebratory, but also sometimes it’s just hitting people right in the nerve.'”
