    Summary

    Shane and Ilya just want to tell the world about their relationship, on their own terms. If only anyone would actually believe them.

    Or: the closet is reinforced steel, apparently.

    "I think we tried too hard," Ilya says from the opposite end of the couch, probably scrolling through the same articles as Shane. "Was easier to keep secret than we thought. I could have kissed you on center ice, and everyone would say aww, I love their…what is word again?"

    "Bromance?"

    "Yes. That."

    Summary

    Shane knows the plan to wait to come out until they retire isn't ideal, but he doesn't have a better one. He thinks that he and Ilya can make it work, until his mom points out how long they will have to live their lives in the shadows.

    But once he realizes that, he immediately knows that he can't come out. It would ruin his legacy.

    He's pretty sure that's why he doesn't want to come out. No other reason. Right?

    He is sure that's all it is until Ilya asks him if he would be safe if he came out. And he can't answer.

    Summary

    "Normally I try to stay away from the off-ice stuff - we’re all humans and this is, ostensibly, a hockey thoughts column - but this thing has broken containment. It’s the biggest story in both Canada and the US. It’s on Good Morning America. Trade talks and other rumblings around the league shut down when it broke. I can’t remember the last time hockey has dominated the headlines so much - if it ever has."

    Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov were outed, and traditional hockey media reacts.

    Summary

    “Of course you’d defend the traitor fag-“

    There was a distinct thud as Captain Hayden Pike’s fist connected with the underside of the chin of one of his own players.

    Everything descended into chaos.

    -

    Pike and Hollander have been ride or die since day one, no amount of decade long secrets or team transfers could change that.
    That is an unfortunate fact for the Montreal Voyageurs.
