Summary
Rozanov cocked his head. “You speak Russian? Or just the curse words?”
“Yes, I speak Russian,” he snapped, defensive and angry. He knew that it had been a mistake to even try to be friendly with Rozanov. “Why? Do I not look Russian to you?” He scoffed.
“No, not really,” Rozanov said. Some of his teammates laughed, although they mostly looked surprised that Shane was speaking to them at all. Rozanov didn’t laugh, though. “Are you Russian?”
“Go fuck yourself.”
+++
Despite an inauspicious start, when Russia’s Ilya Rozanov learns that Canada’s Shane Hollander is fluent in Russian at their first World Junior Championships tournament, it changes everything and sets them on a different course. Instead of being branded as rivals from the very beginning, Ilya and Shane start off as friends.
And, after all, a little friendly rivalry never hurt anyone, did it?

Summary
“I'm serious. We can’t just—what, you want us to dress up and wander into Times Square like idiots? To celebrate the New Year? In public?”
“See?” Rozanov grins wider. “You already understand concept."
“You are unbelievable.”
“And you,” Rozanov counters, leaning in just enough to steal Shane’s attention again, “are very boring.”
---Shane and Ilya, in the middle of their will-they won't-they, ring in the New Year together.

"The Montreal Metros are saddened to announce the passing of Yuna Hollander after her long battle with cancer. Yuna was a dedicated Metros fan her entire life, and more importantly, a dedicated mother to Shane. Metros fans will remember her animated reactions to goals by 24 and her frank analysis of the Metros' performance in the 2015 Gathorne-Hardy Cup finals. The Metros organization want to extend our condolences to Shane, his father David, and the entire Hollander family."

Summary
“It makes sense for you to go to Ottawa,” Cliff said slowly. “Because it’ll be a lot closer to Shane Hollander.”
This time, Ilya did drop his beer.
“Fuck.” Ilya moved to clean it up, Cliff’s words bouncing around in his head. “Sorry, the bottle was damp, my fingers slipped, I-”
“Hey, it’s okay, man,” Cliff said, bending down to help him. “The bottle and…the other thing.”
“The other thing.” Ilya gulped.
“Yeah. Look, I’m sorry, man, I didn’t mean to spring it on you like that, but I know, Roz. Shane is your Montreal girl. Your Jane, right?”

Ilya tells Cliff that he is not re-signing with Boston, only to find out that Cliff has known about him and Shane basically the entire time.
