Summary
Ilya Rozanov gets traded from Boston to Ottawa out of the blue and not a soul knows why. On his first visit to the Centaurs arena, he meets the team equipment manager, Shane — a quiet and illusive man that captures Ilya’s interest immediately.
Shane Hollander has loved hockey since before he could walk. Unfortunately, the one thing he cared more about was living life as his authentic self. He gave up what would have been a promising career in the PWHL—the only chance in this lifetime at professional hockey—to transition. Once the initial sting had worn off, Shane took up equipment managing to keep as close to the game as he could, silently hoping that someday the NHL would be a safe space for people like him. What happens when Ilya Rozanov joins the centaurs and appears dead set on working his way into Shane’s life (and heart)?

Summary
Freshly retired, Shane Hollander thinks the hard part is over. No more roaring crowds. No more ice. Just real life, and the one thing he’s wanted for years: a family. He and his husband are past “someday.” It’s supposed to be now. Shane does everything right. Vitamins. Timing. Patience. Hope. And still the tests come back negivitve, each one taking a little more out of him. So Shane finds the best fertility doctor in Canada, the one who specializes in athletes, and shows up alone anyway.
Paper gown. Bare knees. A heartbeat he can’t quite steady. He tells himself it’s just an appointment. Then the door opens and he comes face to face with Doctor Rozanov.
And Shane’s chest tilts off its axis.
If Doctor Rozanov can help give Shane the baby he’s been wanting, what happens when Ilya starts offering everything else Shane didn’t know he was starving for?

Summary
Shane could hear the crowd, loud as always in their home barn. It felt electric tonight. He didn't usually let the emotions of the occasion affect him, but after 22 years in the MLH, having accomplished everything he could do as a professional, tonight’s send-off was too much to push all the way down into that small compartment where he could hide all he felt.
But Ilya–Shane felt physical pain in his chest every time he allowed himself to think his name. Their careers still forever tied together until Ilya’s retirement a few years ago. In the quietest of times, Shane could admit he shouldn’t have felt lonely at the top because Ilya was always right there with him. Sometimes he took solace in that, sometimes it brought pain so blinding he couldn’t breathe.
or
Shane Hollander retires from the MLH a few seasons after Ilya. They haven't actually spoken since the day Shane left in Boston. When Ilya is invited to participate in Shane's retirement ceremony, will they take the opportunity to confront the feelings they have long buried but kept sacred or are they still just two stars passing in the night?

Summary
It’s the most famous cold case in hockey history. Up-and-coming Russian phenom Ilya Rozanov mysteriously vanishes the summer before his rookie season. Despite extensive police work, no trace of the young superstar is ever found.
Shane Hollander remembers Ilya Rozanov. Better than most. And now, several years retired and with two highly successful hockey biographies under his belt, he’s taking a crack at the mystery that’s haunted his own career with strings of what-ifs and memories revisited so often they’ve softened like old cotton.
Perhaps now, with the long eye of perspective between him and those memories, he can unravel the short lifetime of the man poised to become his biggest rival and best kept secret. Travelling to Russia he searches for stories and the answers they hold.
If only this damn dog that’s apparently a local cryptid would stop raiding his trash cans.
It has wandered this place for years. It knows every stream, every hill, every tree. Every pale, flat face in the place of straight lines. It does not know this face.
But it remembers dark eyes and star-dots across the cheeks.
It cannot remember its own name.But it remembers him.

Summary
After being a witness to an horrible accident on the ice, Shane Hollander, riddled with PTSD, surprisingly retires from playing hockey for the NHL in 2015. The reasons for his Retirement are kept confidential and vague, the official statement only mentions an career ending injury.
He needs years to even manage to set foot into an ice rink again but eventually manages to become an assistant coach for the Ottawa Centaurs, to reconnect with his beloved sport in some way.Ilya Rozanov had dealt with his fathers death and the final fallout with his brother alone. He feels lost and lonely in Boston and never wants to return to Russia. To secure permanent residency in Canada, he approaches a trade to Ottawa, shocking the entire hockey community.
He won’t admit it to anyone but after Shane Hollander disappeared from the NHL and his life almost 3 years ago, a part of him disappeared too. The Centaurs are currently still the worst team in the devision but something about playing in the hometown of Shane Hollander draws him there. -

“They need to return to a conference based system,” Svetlana said, slamming her hand against the table. “It was fucking fine the way it was, why are we handing out participation trophies to shitty divisions?”
Ilya raised his eyebrows from where he hovered in the kitchen, cracking open another Red Bull.
“This is fun,” he said, deadpanned. “You guys should start a podcast or something. I would not listen, you are both terribly boring.”

Or, after an injury on the ice forces Shane into an early retirement, he and Svetlana start a podcast.
