    Summary

    Shane Hollander, captain of the Boston Raiders, is the the undisputed best hockey player of his generation. But he’s lonely. His relationships with women have never worked out, and he’s afraid he knows why.

    Ilya Rozanov is a charismatic, openly bisexual personal trainer and influencer. His Insta is half thirst traps, half brutal and perceptive hockey critique.

    It’s no surprise, really, that Shane falls for him so hard and so fast.

    Summary

    A canon-aligned but canon-divergent AU that takes the whole Game Changers series, throws it into a bag with some real life NHL hockey events and drama, and gives it a good shake to see what comes out. In brief, Shane leaves Montreal for his own reasons and gets to experience the reveal of his sexual orientation and seven-year rivals-with-benefits relationship in a more inclusive locker room but while still being rivals with Ilya. Somewhat inspired by the Jesperi Kotkaniemi offer sheet saga with the obvious caveat that Kotkaniemi is nowhere close to being comparable as a player to Shane Hollander. But Montreal GMs have been known to make some very boneheaded decisions out of pride and spite…

    Summary

    “I feel really good about this kid, I think he could be great on your wing, he just needs some help settling in. Someone to show him the ropes.”

    “Yes.”

    The line went silent for a moment. Ilya wasn’t really sure why his coach felt the need to run this by him.

    “Rozanov,” his coach said at last. “I want him to live with you.”

    Ilya blinked, then nearly shouted into the phone. “What?”

    or, Ilya stays in Boston, gets a rookie, and tries to figure out how to make a secret long distance relationship work while there's a Russian teenager in his house
