    Summary

    “Just got the word from the officials, Metros are shutting Miitka down for the night," LeClaire says almost dispassionately. “Third period we’re up against,” LeClaire consults his clipboard, “Shane Hollander. Drafted 2009, current starter for the Laval Maples, posts a .905 save percentage.”

    Ilya stays where he is, rolling the name around in his head once, without much interest.

    Hollander.

    Doesn’t ring a bell.


    Inspired by that one twitter post, what if Shane was a goalie?

    Summary

    Cliff hates the waiting game, mostly because it goes on way too long. A year. A year of trying to find a moment to bring up the ring, casually mentioning Jane where it won’t push Roz away, making exasperated eye contact with his teammates with each failed lead.

    The Boston Bears just want their captain to be happy, they don't mean to uncover the most well kept secret in the NHL.
    Good thing the rookies are cute, Rozanov can't yell at cute.

    Summary

    Ilya and Shane agreed to come out to their teams separately. The Bears take it well and promise to have Ilya's back, but they have questions.

    Summary

    Unexpectedly, Shane and Ilya's management and teammates/friends have no problem with their relationship, and neither does Shane's parents which means they get to remain captains of the Montreal Metros and the Boston Raiders. As they settle into their newly found freedom (unbeknownst to the public eye, of course), two new prospects catapult into fame by the media for being the next 'Hockey Rivalry' after generational hockey players Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov.

    OR

    2018 marks the start of Korean-Canadian Subin Lim and Czech Lukáš Novák's rise to fame as first-year rookies to the Montreal Metros and the Boston Raiders. With Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov as their captains and unofficial mentors, all eyes are on the rooks to match their 'predecessors' talent, even if the pressure of hockey and personal dilemmas crush them alongside it.

    OR

    Shane and Ilya accidentally end up 'adopting' two rookies who need a whole lot of guidance, protection and help to survive the whirlwinds of life and hockey.

    Summary

    "We're setting you up with a billet situation," Fletcher continued. "It's pretty common for first-year players, especially international guys. Gives you a chance to settle in, learn the city, have someone looking out for you."

    "Okay," Ilya said slowly, not entirely sure what a billet was, but not wanting to admit his ignorance.

     He could guess from the context – he’d heard of rookies being assigned to live with older single players, veterans who could show them the ropes. Maybe that was what Fletcher meant. Connors maybe, he was probably a handful of years older than Ilya. Or perhaps Becker. Ilya just hoped it was someone who–

    "You'll be staying with Nikolai Petrov and his family."

    The words hit Ilya like a punch to the gut. For a moment, he forgot how to breathe.

    "Petrov?" he managed, his voice coming out strangled.

    The Bears decide that Ilya should be set up with a billet for his first season. The idea of spending a year living with a man that Ilya is sure hates him is completely terrifying. And yet, it ends up being the best thing to ever happen to him.
