Matt Roush says...
The very buzzy Canadian drama about a secret gay romance in the world of hockey ends its first season with an episode that could be thought of as “The Summer That Changed Everything.” For Canadian star Shane (Hudson Williams) and bad-boy Russian upstart Ilya (Connor Storrie), it’s a long-awaited July reunion between seasons as the two steal away to Shane’s lavishly appointed “cottage” in the Ottawa woods for what Shane tells his clueless parents is a “silent retreat.” If you don’t count the passionate moaning. The getaway gives them a chance to open up about their feelings and think about a potential future—and then more drama breaks out.
