    Summary

    June 2018. Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov are about to execute the first step of their ten-year plan, with Ilya signing with the Ottawa Centaurs when free agency begins on July 1.

    Except Shane accidentally, drunkenly, outs himself to the Montreal Metros at the end of the season. Who are not as okay with it as Shane would have hoped.

    AKA the most eventful Canada Day that the MLH has ever seen.

    Good verisimilitude and written by someone who knows puck/hockey. Justice is done to Montreal’s legacy.

    Spoilers below

    Shane came out to Montreal after winning his third cup, so Montreal traded Shane to Ottawa and tried to sign Ilya. Ottawa put together a great dog video which Ilya publicly credited for his decision to sign with Ottawa. Ilya stood up for Shane at their joint press conference, and they broke the internet multiple times.

    Fun and sweet while also diving into institutional homophobia and power structures. Perfect mix of all the things I love about this fandom. Crowell busts out all the union busting tactics and CIRCUS fights back.

    Spoilers below

    Ch 40

    Ilya created a giant organization (300+ so far) of straight allies, out players, queer players, and queer employees.
    2020 we’re entering the Long Game era. Troy to became the PA union rep. Luca is a mod on MLHCorruption and figured everything out. Ilya and Ryan met up with Mastur Bates (Montreal owner) and did a quid pro quo for him to look at ousting Crowell. Haas did a honeypot for rookies but Kent found out and told Crowell. Crowell accused Ilya of being the ringleader and said “this entire team is dead.” That recording was posted on RogueMLH with the implication that Crowell messed with the plane. Troy came out. Ilya put together an audio file of incriminating Crowell recordings to blackmail Crowell with, and Hayden accidentally leaked it via fanmail. Hollanov are not talking to each other and both want to play for Ottawa together. The trip still happened. Ilya won the cup. At MLH awards, Shane declared he was moving to his husband’s team, and that that husband is Ilya.

    centaurs ✅

    [picture] The middle of the Ottawa-Buffalo game. In front of a net, Ilya Rozanov is on one knee on the ice, flanked by two Buffalo players, stick outstretched toward Shane Hollander who has the puck on his stick.

    CENS WIN

    OTT 5 FINAL 1 BUF

    [video, 15 seconds]

    The post-game press line, Ilya Rozanov sweaty and shirtless, a mic held in front of his face.

    ESPN reporter: Ilya, what an amazing assist in the second period power play. You were literally swiveling on one knee avoiding two defensemen, and sliding the puck to Hollander to score.

    Rozanov (grinning): Well, sometimes you have to go down on one knee for your man, you know.

    [Caption] Married life #Cens style: scoring goals with your husband!

     

    Or: During Shane's first season in Ottawa, Ilya keeps breaking the internet with his interviews and shenanigans. The internet, predictably, keeps losing its shit.

    Summary

    Yuna had secrets.
    Secrets that could get her killed.
    She loved hockey. That wasn’t the secret. Everyone knew she was a fan of good hockey. She was even more a fan of great hockey.

    Which is why if she WASN’T the mother of Canada’s golden boy her favourite player wouldn’t be Shane Hollander.

    No, it wouldn’t be him.

    It would be Ilya Rozanov
