Prime Video’s hot hockey romance Off Campus — about college hockey player love lives — turns the University of British Columbia into Briar U.
Season one drops May 13th and season 2 is shooting in Vancouver this summer.
A college soap based on Elle Kennedy’s bestselling book series, the first season of OFF CAMPUS follows the unlikely romance between wry, hockey-hating music major Hannah Wells (Ella Bright) and Briar U’s womanizing star center Garrett Graham (Belmont Cameli ) as they strike a deal to help each other out. But will their deal unfold as expected?

Adapted from Canadian Elle Kennedy’s best-selling books about college hockey stars and the young women in their lives, turned parts of the University of British Columbia campus into the fictional Briar University.
Off Campus season one’s adaption of The Deal follows the unlikely romance between Briar University’s playboy star centre Garrett (Belmont Cameli) and wry, hockey-hating music major Hannah (Ella Bright). Garrett’s love rival is Hannah’s crush, college rock band singer Justin (Josh Heuston).
