As the 2026 Winter Olympics approach, Google search trends reveal a significant spike in interest surrounding hockey. The term 'Boy aquarium,' a slang for hockey arenas originating from TikTok, has reached an all-time high in searches. Alongside this, 'hockey goalie warm up' and general searches for 'hockey players' have seen substantial increases over the past month and decade, respectively.
The excitement extends to the Olympics, with 'Olympic hockey schedule' and 'Olympic figure skating schedule' leading event searches. The 'USA men's hockey olympic roster' is also a top trending search. Intriguingly, searches for 'are there any gay hockey players' have also reached an all-time high, indicating a growing public curiosity about inclusivity in the sport.
The popular series 'Heated Rivalry,' which centers on a fictional romantic relationship between two professional hockey players, may be contributing to this trend. Both actors from the show, Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie, recently participated as torchbearers in the 2026 Olympic torch relay. The series itself has been renewed for a second season, continuing its exploration of the hockey universe.
