or,
Canada faces Italy in the first preliminary match of the men's hockey tournament at the Olympics, and Ilya is not pleased that Shane has noticed the Italian goalie. What follows: a bad loss, the great condom shortage of the Winter Olympics, and an excommunication.

Notes

this one is self indulgent and deeply unserious. i’m so sorry. in loving memory of italian manwhore summer 2021 and pope francis.

EDIT 15.02: i'd written italy losing 11-1 before the finland-italy game, and the original score was indeed 11-0 before i decided to be nice. apollo and the gift of prophecy indeed.

Roz: Thank you, I had missed school trips

Cap: Fuck you.

Roz: 😏

Pike: Can we not?

Roz: We aren’t. You’re not invited

Cap: First two nights only. The beds are not big enough for Ilya’s ego.

Roz: My ego?

They ordinately leave the platform and tunnel into a corridor amid the morning rush crowd, then up the escalators, occupying both the right and the left side of each step. A man can be heard shouting: “TOGLIETEVI DAL CAZZO CHÉ DEVO ANDARE IN UFFICIO, PORCOD....” The video ends.]

ESPN ✅ @ESPN tweeted:
Team Canada’s Captain and Ottawa forward centre Shane Hollander on the upcoming preliminary match against Italy:

[Video: Pre-recorded. Shane Hollander is standing just outside the perimeter of the Ottawa team’s practice rink in Canada, beads of sweat crawling down the sides of his face, as he speaks into the microphone.

Reporter: What are you most looking forward to?

Hollander: Well, I’ve heard that the Olympic village has Nutella fountains. Not part of my diet, usually, but. I'll make an exception.

Reporter: It does! Have you or the other players learned any Italian so far?

Hollander: Ilya, only the bad words. But in all seriousness — it's Italy’s first Olympic run in twenty years or so, and I’m looking forward to meeting them on the ice. And their goalie — Damian? -  he’s a prospect, isn’t he? (Smiling.) I've seen footage of him. First Italian player to be drafted by the NHL, youngest goaltender to dress at the World Championship back in 2021. (He cocks his head to the side, tongue darting out to lick his bottom lip.) He's clearly someone to keep an eye on. And he’s got the wingspan of a 747! (Laughs.)]

Notti di Fuoco Nel Villaggio Olimpico
by Gianmarco Soretti, Sports Correspondent. Published: 08.21am. Last updated: 11.11am.

It was a fiery night at the Olympic village, according to sources close to the staff in Milano Cortina.

Every year, sponsors distribute “thousands” of condoms across the village’s twin rooms to ensure safety above all during adrenaline-filled days. Some relationships, of course, are more high-profile than others. It seems in fact that the Power Couple of Canadian ice Hockey, Shane and Ilya Hollander-Rozanov…

12.02.2025. Circa 11pm. The match has now ended 11 - 1. Two of the Italian defensemen have moderate sprains. Second-line right wing forward has a broken nose and the blood is still on the ice. Damian Clara is nowhere to be seen.

12.02.2025. Reporters' room. 

Adrenaline is still thrumming through Ilya's veins when follows Shane and stops in front of the reporter. He's not delusional—he knows they won't have many more occasions like this, not the Olympics, and this result is exactly what they wanted. What they needed. What he needed, given, well. Well. 

So, he's pleased. And, of course, the Italian reporters ask Shane about their style of play in the ice—aggressive, harsh—and no, really, says Shane, he does not listen to rumours: this is how they usually play, nothing out of the ordinary. Nothing else to consider. One smooth lie after the other, because any mark the shape of Ilya's teeth on his body is carefully covered by the hockey gear.

And then, finally, they ask them both if they've got any more words after winning against the host country, and: “Of course,” Shane says, agreeable as always. “We enjoyed visiting La Scala just yesterday, and the people here, everywhere, have made us feel very welcomed.”

Ilya flashes his best smile. Shane stills, knowing that, truthfully, Ilya has indeed learned some Italian. 

“We took the metro,” says Ilya. “We were welcomed there, too. What did they say to us? Ah, da. Welcoming words: Porco D-”

Canadian Team defenseman “pickpocketed” in busy Milan Metro

It was just three days ago that the Canada ice Hockey’s National Team was seen visiting Milan’s most famous landmarks – the Duomo, the Vittorio Emanuele II gallery, the Navigli.

The visit, however, may have included an unexpected and unpleasant souvenir. According to an anonymous source close to the team, in fact, defenseman Hayden Pike was allegedly pickpocketed on the way to…

13th February. A hotel in Milan. 10.54pm. 

 

Shane’s hand hovers above the open drawer of the hotel’s sidetable, his eyebrows furrowing slightly. “Ilya,” he says, “where are the condoms?”

Ilya watches him run the maths in his head. They’ve had sex every day, and multiple times a day at that, too. The victory against Italy alone had him hard as a rock before they even toed their shoes off in the room. Still, it’s nowhere near enough times to justify the fact that two of the five packs they brought from Canada are completely gone. 

Shane sits back on Ilya’s legs, thighs bracketing Ilya’s hips. “Ilya.”

Ilya’s dick twitches against his tummy. “Shane. I love you.”

“Ilya,” Shane says again. His dick is still hard, despite confusion. Victory. “What happened to our condoms?”

“I don’t know,” says Ilya. “Why don’t you ask Damian Clara?”

The Wolfbirds in Milan 

 

Cap: If I catch anyone eating the portions of tiramisu Ilya bartered for five condoms I will make sure they get benched for the rest of the olympic run.

Bood: Sorry boss. Noted. 

Hazy: Is Roz OK by the way?

Cap: He was fine twenty minutes ago - why?

Hazy: IDK. He said something that sounded like Russian cursing and then something about Dostoevsky.

RaiNews ✅@RaiNews tweeted:
#MilanoCortina2026, Damian Clara is ready to face Slovakia in second preliminary match: he talks injuries, NHL future, relax tips, and the “condom shortage” #WinterOlympics2026

[Attached: Video. Clara stands in front of his Village twin room. He looks tired, dark circles around his eyes. 

Reporter: The match against Canada was tough. Have you had a think about what could have gone differently? 

Clara: Uh, yes. I think I had blocked about sixty shots by the time I injured myself. I don’t think anything could have gone differently, necessarily. Canada is tough. Those are the top players in the NHL. I think they clocked one of Hollander’s shots at almost 100 miles per hour. Rozanov’s—I think 89 miles. That one hit me on the shin.

Reporter: Rozanov was tough on you. Any idea why?

Clara, immediately: No. 

Reporter: And your injury? Have you recovered?

Clara: [Stuttering.] I’m, uh, fine. I’ll be playing today. I appreciate the experience. I want to focus on the upcoming challenges now.

Reporter: That’s the spirit. And I have to ask—have you noticed the great “condom shortage” of the Olympics 2026? It’s all everyone is talking about. 

Clara: Sort of. I was in bed early last night. I like reading, so I was relaxing, reading Dostoevsky. It’s my favourite author. But athletes from various countries kept knocking at our room door at all hours of the night. Someone spread a rumour that I was the only one with condoms left. Which. (His eye twitches.) It’s not true, obviously. So I didn’t really sleep much.

22nd February. Sanremo. It's 3.10am.

It's late and he's bone-tired and he wishes he could be in bed, at the cottage, back in Canada. But they're here, they're gold medallists together, and it's just the last stretch of this journey, this TV appearance, and so: yes, they're trying to make hockey accessible to everyone, regardless of ethnicity, gender identity, and sexual orientation. And: There’s a lot of things people say online, says one of the hosts. Amadeus? Ilya isn’t sure. It feels like he's on drugs. “Like that you’re trying to push the LGBT agenda.”

“Well,” says Shane, easily, beside him. Diplomatic, as usual. “If the agenda is winning, then yes.”

There’s laughter around the theatre. And you, says the other host, Fiorello?, addressing Ilya. "There are still a lot of religious people online who are quite—uh— upset at what you said a couple of weeks ago. And I understand. I was excommunicated, too, once. Quite a few priests and other religious figures posting tweets against you on Twitter." 

“That is fine,” says Ilya, offering his best smile. Fake teeth and all. “I understand why they wouldn’t like me, the priests.”

Shane stills, because of course he does. He knows him better than he knows himself. 

“Yes?” asks Amadeus.

“Sure,” says Ilya.  “Because I am older than 12.”

 

 

 

fin (for real).

Chapter End Notes

mind you, most if not all of the things in sanremo (the festival that inspired eurovision, btw) happened for real at some point, including the butt plugs and the handcuffs. and they do invite international guests every year.

if this made you laugh, let me know. i had a blast writing it. in the meantime, bonus:

13th February, unspecified location. 7.59pm.

Group chat (200+ people)

Ilya: hi all

Ilya: i've heard damian clara from the italian team has a stash of condoms left and is happy to share because he's not getting any

Ilya: everyone else - bid starts again tomorrow 8am for one condom at the price of 20 cannoli

Ilya: the big ones 😉 i wouldn't know what to do with the small kind
