Heated Rivalry inspired greeting card quote 'I'm Coming to the Cottage' hockey coming out greeting card and ‘Stupid Canadian Wolf Bird’ – loon campfire joke fan greeting card.

Heated Rivalry quotes you can actually send: “Coming to the Cottage” & “Stupid Wolf Bird” greeting cards

If you’re a Heated Rivalry fan, you already know it’s not just a hockey romance — it’s a story packed with LGBTQ+emotion, tension, and those blink-and-you-miss-it lines that become instant fandom shorthand. The TV series is based on Game Changers by Rachel Reid.

That’s exactly why I turned two of the most-loved sayings into fan-inspired greeting cards — perfect as Valentine’s Day cards, a cheeky fan gift, or an “I saw this and thought of you” note for your favourite gay / LGBTQ plus romance lover. (These are unofficial and not sponsored, endorsed, or affiliated with the show, any network, or any official merch partner.)

And yes: they ship FREE within the UK, USA, Canada, and Australia — with local printing/fulfilment in those regions, so your order isn’t sitting in international post.

Card 1: “I’m coming to the Cottage” — a line that means everything

This quote became a fandom favourite because it hits right at the heart of what so many viewers love about the story: vulnerability, bravery, and that complicated push-pull of identity, love, and coming out. It’s tender, loaded, and unforgettable.

Best for:

  • a romantic partner (especially for Valentine’s Day)
  • a supportive message for someone navigating coming out
  • any LGBTQ+ love story fan who wants a keepsake that still feels usable

Card 2: “Stupid Canadian Wolf Bird” — the campfire quote that fans keep replaying

Some quotes are iconic because they’re romantic. This one is iconic because it’s pure chaos (in the best way). It’s that perfect mix of outdoorsy Canadian vibes, banter, and the kind of ridiculous moment that instantly becomes an inside joke between fans.

Best for:

  • couples who collect inside jokes
  • best friends / “rivals-to-lovers” energy
  • anyone who wants Heated Rivalry merch that’s funny, niche, and actually sendable

Why these Heated Rivalry cards make the perfect fan gift

A lot of fandom merch lives on a shelf. These are different: they’re cards first — designed to be written in, gifted, and kept. Whether you’re shopping for Valentine’s Day cards, an LGBTQ+ romance lover, or a small surprise for a friend who can’t stop quoting the show, these two designs turn favourite moments into something you can actually share.

Each comes with its own brown kraft evelope, blank inside and printed on thick 300-324gsm card, these are definitely quality. Beautiful matte paper for that soft look with super fun reaction for the recipient when they open that envelope!
