Paul Codi, Travis Connor
Here we go: a more explicit reimagining of the hockey-romance phenomenon has arrived.
Real-life Canadian couple and popular adult performers Paul Codi and Travis Connor have teamed up for a new erotic feature titled Winner Takes All, directly inspired by the hit series Heated Rivalry.
For Codi, the project isn’t just a thematic homage – it’s a reflection of his own history.
Before entering the adult industry, Codi was a professional hockey player who even had the opportunity to become an NHL referee.
Ultimately, he chose to leave the world of professional athletics behind, citing a culture of toxic masculinity, homophobia, and malicious politics.
This personal history adds a layer of raw authenticity to Winner Takes All, as Codi draws on his real-world experiences with the sports culture depicted in the original series.
As a committed couple living in the heart of Canadian hockey culture, Codi and Connor personally connected to the “closeted” professional sports tropes explored in Heated Rivalry. Their new film is designed to lean into the steamiest elements of that rivalry…
It is slated to be available on major VOD (Video on Demand) sites such as Falcon Studios and Hot House, who are partnering on the distribution due to the high production value of the project.
