Summary
”Rozanov looks good in Russia, sure, but here? I don’t know if he’ll hold up.”
Shane wasn’t supposed to be listening. At sixteen, a decade into competition hockey, this was his first time at the Saskatchewan arena and he’d taken the wrong turn in the long, echoing corridors. The conference room door was shut, but there was a crack at the bottom and the words spilled out into the hallway, bouncing off the cheap vinyl tiles. He tried to breathe quietly, desperate for news about his opponent. There was only one other player near Shane’s level, and he’d come all the way from Russia.
“The rumors—”
The voice trailed off. Someone cleared their throat.
Heart beating double-time, Shane felt for his scent blockers. One firm cuff around each wrist, pads on either side of his neck. The underwear everyone wore, basic manners. Too many alphas in a small enough space could—had—led to fights in the locker room. Always, Shane had to set a good example. Had to be better, so he could play.
“I don’t believe it.” A chair creaked. “No fuckin’ omega plays like Rozanov.”

Summary
"Hey. Hey, Hollander."
Shane sighs, drains the last sip of his beer, and turns towards the voice.
"You mind if I ask you a question?"
Can I fucking stop you?
OR: Shane Hollander meets a Boston Raiders fan. The conversation doesn't go quite how he expects.

Summary
Mouthing, Nipping and Biting in Puppies: Puppies spend a great deal of time playing, chewing and investigating objects. All of these normal activities involve puppies using their mouths and their needle-sharp teeth. It's important to help your puppy learn to curb his mouthy behavior. The ultimate goal is to train your puppy to stop mouthing and biting people altogether.
(Or, a research paper by S. Hollander, with one very special test subject.)

The Fic Writer's Guide to Life as a Pro Hockey Player by merrimack
Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid, Men's Hockey RPF

Summary
I’ve been watching and reading about hockey for about 15 years, and when Heated Rivalry took off, I decided to put my mountain of saved links to good use. This guide is intended to give information about life as a professional hockey player, designed for fic writers who want to get the logistics right, from what Shane and Ilya's calendars look like to what their contracts say, and add realistic color to their Heated Rivalry or Hockey RPF fics.
This is not a "Hockey 101" for the game itself, as there are many other sources for that.
Contains some minor spoilers for The Long Game, but none for the major plot developments. I use "NHL" throughout, following Rachel's usage in the books.

Hey everyone! In light of Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov's outing (I'm still trying to process this myself), I want to highlight this article I wrote on my blog almost twelve years ago now. Even though it's not directly related, I figure it has utility here:

Heated Rivalry meta: timelines of show + Russian anti-queer laws by stele3
Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV)

Summary
So I had some truly incomprehensible conversations recently with people who firmly believe that Heated Rivalry is Russian propaganda -- because the (Canadian) show depicts a queer Russian man as sympathetic? I guess?? -- and while that was obviously a bugfuck weird opinion to have, it did inspire me to think more about the timeline of the show (as pulled from the timeline I put together) vs. the timeline of modern Russian legislation targeting the queer population.
meret118 on Tumblr then requested that I put it up on AO3, so here it is.
