In a recent interview, Walsh, who portrays David Hollander, the father of Shane, revealed his plans to return to Canada for the filming of what he described as a 12-episode run. He expressed admiration for his character, stating that he wishes every father could be as “cool” as Shane’s dad.
The sports romance series, inspired by Rachel Reid’s “Game Changers” novels, chronicles the journey of hockey rivals who become lovers, focusing on the relationship between Shane and Ilya. The first season has been available on Crave and HBO Max since late 2025.
Fans are now speculating whether this development indicates a longer second season or the possibility of filming additional episodes concurrently to adapt more of the book series. One enthusiastic fan even remarked that this news serves as a testament to the idea that life is indeed worth living.
