March 20 10:24 AM
Cassie: Hi Jane

Cassie: This is Zane Boodram's wife Cassie

Cassie: Ilya gave me your number and I wanted to give you a heads up before I drop you into the main WAGs chat.

 

Lily

Today 10:25 AM
Shane: What did you do?

Lily: I plead the fifth

Shane: Nice try, but you're in Canada now.

Read Shane: Don't leave me on read.

Lily: I will use my section 11(c) right under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Shane: Did you just google that?

Lily: Yes

Lily: It's not as straightforward as America Law and Order, but we have section 11(c), section 13, and section 7.

Lily: So I don't have to answer.

Shane: I love you so much.

Lily: I love you too.

Shane: But I'm still going to need you to explain why Cassie Boodram is texting me that she's going to add me to the WAG chat.

Cassie Boodram

Today 10:32 AM
  Shane: Sorry, I had to check with Ilya. We don't talk about our relationship much so I was surprised.

Cassie: That might be my fault. Zane told me he thought Ilya had a girlfriend and then I got on his case to get Ilya to cave.

Cassie: I won't put you in the group chat if you don't want to be.

Shane: It's okay. Might be nice to have a place to talk about him with people who like him.

  Cassie added Jane to the chat
  Cassie
Cassie: Hi Ladies

Cassie: Meet Ilya's girlfriend…Jane!

Caitlin
Caitlin: I didn't know Ilya had a girlfriend!

Selena
Selena: me neither!

Cassie
Cassie: I just found out 20 minutes ago!

Cassie: Message your names so Jane knows who she's talking to

Caitlin
Caitlin: Caitlin Dykstra, Evan's wife

Selena
Selena: Selena Chouinard, Nick's wife

Cassie
Cassie: Wyatt Hayes's wife Lisa is also in here but she's a doctor and goes chunks of time without her phone.

Caitlin
Caitlin: Ilya's been with the team for what? 2 years now?

Jane: one and a half

Caitlin
Caitlin: How come we haven't heard about you before?

Selena
Selena: Caitlin!!

Caitlin
Caitlin: Are you new? Have you been together the whole time?

Jane: Well. Our relationship is complicated and with Ilya in the public eye, we don't want to have all these people watching us.

Selena
Selena: I get it. Don't tell Nick, but I'm glad he's not, like, famous-famous. I would not want to deal with him being recognized.

Cassie
Cassie: So did you guys meet after he moved to Ottawa?

Jane: No, we were already together. I don't even live in Ottawa.

Cassie
Cassie: Where do you live?

Caitlin
Caitlin: Complicated how? How long have you been together?

Selena
Selena: Caitlin Dykstra, asking the nosy questions everyone wants to know the answers to.

Jane: Montreal.

Jane: Officially for about two and a half years.

Caitlin
Caitlin: And unofficially?

Jane: longer

Caitlin
Caitlin: ???

Jane: that's all I'm going to say

Caitlin
Caitlin: I noticed you didn't answer part of my question but you're new here so i'll let it slide.

Selena
Selena: Wait, does that mean Ilya moved to Ottawa for you?!

Caitlin
Caitlin: Why wouldn't he go to the Voyagers? They're a much better team.

Cassie
Cassie: ouch

Selena
Selena: but true

Cassie
Cassie: No way they have the cap space with Hollander's contract. Plus he might have gotten flayed alive by Montreal. Or Boston. Or both.

Jane: Montreal was not a good option for a number of reasons.

Caitlin
Caitlin: So he did move for you??!!!

Jane: Don't tell your husbands. He likes the mystery.

Cassie
Cassie: Never. what happens in the WAG chat stays in the WAG chat.

 

Lily

Today 11:48 AM
  Shane: So does this mean you want to be in the Voyagers WAG chat?

Lily: Absolutely not.

Lily: Why would I want to socialize with anyone stupid enough to marry Gilbert Comeau or Patrice Drapeau?

Shane: They're not that bad.

Lily: Jackie gives me all the good gossip anyway.

  Cassie
Cassie: Happy get your husband back week!

Selena
Selena: Is it bad I'm glad we don't have to deal with playoffs?

Selena: Like, I want them to do well, but I like having Nick home and not dealing with all the kids by myself all the time.

Lisa
Lisa: I get it.

Cassie
Cassie: Did you ever think of marrying a nice accountant instead of a hockey player?

Selena
Selena: That was the dream. Sadly, I fell in love with Nick before I could find one.

Jane: Life would be so much easier if we could control who we love like that.

Caitlin
Caitlin: How bad is it going to be next year with Evan gone when this baby comes?

Selena
Selena: It's going to suck so fucking hard, I'm not going to lie.

Caitlin
Caitlin: 😦

Lisa
Lisa: You could ease her into it a little more.

Selena
Selena: As the only one in this chat with a kid (as far as I know, @Jane), I'm going to tell you any type of easing in is gone from your life when that baby shows up.

Selena: But we've got your back. You've got a whole hockey team of women ready to step up.

Cassie
Cassie: Absolutely

Caitlin
Caitlin: 🩷

Jane: I didn't know you were having a baby. Congratulations.

Caitlin
Caitlin: Thank you!

Caitlin: Though I'm slightly less excited about it now than I was 20 minutes ago.

Selena
Selena: Sorry. You'll be fine. Really.

Caitlin
Caitlin: So is Selena the only one with kids? Or are you, @Jane stashed away with Ilya's secret child who he has to hide from the government?!

Lisa
Lisa: What the hell, Caitlin?

Jane: No kid here. Not yet.

Cassie
Cassie: You want some?

Jane: Maybe. It will be a while before it's even a possibility.

Jane: I'd love to see Ilya as a dad. He's so good with my friend's kids. And the kids at the hockey camp.

Lisa
Lisa: Were you at hockey camp last summer? I stopped by a few times in Ottawa.

Jane: Oh.

Jane: No. Just from stories I've heard.

Cassie
Cassie: Are you excited for Ilya to have more free time? Will you be able to come here or will he go there?

Jane: I think he'll come here for awhile. It's a pretty busy season for me at work right now. We won't actually get to spend much time together until the summer. Hopefully.

Lisa
Lisa: You hope you won't get to see him for the next three months until it's summer?

Jane: I mean

Jane: Hopefully I get to see him more after work quiets down.

Hayden and Jackie

April 3 10:19 AM
  Shane: I have a friend having a baby.

Shane: What's the thing you didn't have when Jade and Ruby were born that you needed the most?

Lily

April 8 10:43 PM
  Shane: Good game tonight.

Read Today 11:08 PM
  Shane: You played a great season.

Lily: 78 points and second last in the conference is great now?

Shane: Your last season with the Bears, the Centaurs had 45 points and were the last in the league. Last year you had 71 points and were last in conference but second last in league.

Shane: Next year will be even better.

Read Today 11:19 PM
  Shane: Will you come here soon?

Lily: I need to clean out the locker. A few other things. I can be there when you're back for game 3.

Shane: I can't wait to see you.

Lily: Me too.

Lily: I will be your house boyfriend.

Lily: Cook you all of the brown rice you could ever want.

Shane: Cauliflower rice is better.

Lily: There is no situation in which that is better.

Shane: 😾

  Selena
Selena: Montréal gagne!!!!!!!

Cassie
Cassie: Boooooooo

Selena
Selena: What do you have against Montreal?

Cassie
Cassie: They're always dicks to the guys when we play them.

Lisa
Lisa: Did you want Denver to bring home the cup?

Cassie
Cassie: I don't actually care. I just always root against Montreal.

Selena
Selena: If you ever meet my family don't let anyone hear you say that.

Selena: Between my brothers and me we had, like, seven Shane Hollander posters in our bedrooms all through high school. And my parents had a Voyagers calendar hanging in the kitchen.

Caitlin
Caitlin: Awww. Baby Shane Hollander.

Selena
Selena: He was good for high school me.

Caitlin
Caitlin: And grown up Shane Hollander is good for all of us.

Cassie
Cassie: He does look beautiful when he smiles like that.

Lisa
Lisa: @Jane, you're the current Montreal resident and Voyagers fan, what's your opinion on Shane Hollander?

Lily

Yesterday 10:42 PM
  Lily: What a beautiful game

Lily: Clean sweep

Lily: Three-time Cup winner Shane Hollander

Lily: Three-time Conn Smythe Trophy recipient

Shane: Sounds pretty good

Lily: I think you will like it more when I say it while I'm fucking you.

Shane: I will like being called a three-time cup winner no matter the context

Shane: But that sounds especially good.

Lily: When will you be home?

Shane: I don't know. As soon as I can. It's going to take me a while to get out of the building and then I have to go out with the guys for a little.

Lily: Take your time Mr. three-time cup winner. You deserve to celebrate. I will be here.

Lisa
Lisa: @Jane, proof of life please, lady!

Jane: Shaneholldr is drunk. Montl best.

Lisa
Lisa: I don't know about Shane Hollander, but you sound pretty drunk.

Lisa: Please drink water.

Lisa: Are you somewhere safe? Don't walk home alone.

Selena
Selena: Yeah, stay in a group. I can't imagine Ilya is out celebrating a Montreal win with with you.

Caitlin
Caitlin: I mean, Shane Hollander probably is drunk.

June 28 11:14 AM
Jane: Can I have your address to send you Caitlin's baby shower gift?

Cassie: I think if you buy through the registry it should ship right to her. That's so nice of you to get her something.

Jane: I kind of went off registry. Is that bad? I asked my friends what they didn't realize they needed until after their kids were born and bought some of those things.

Cassie: That's not bad, that's really thoughtful. Send it here. And send me that list.

  Cassie
Cassie: Happy Canada Day!

Cassie: @Lisa, @Serena, @Caitlin, are we still seeing you this afternoon? Around 2?

Selena
Selena: yes!

Caitlin
Caitlin: yes!

Lisa
Lisa: My shift ends at 7, but Wyatt will be there.

Cassie
Cassie: We'll still be going at 7! Come by then.

Cassie: @Jane, don't suppose we can convince you and Ilya to come. You could leave Montreal after lunch and still be here.

Jane: Ilya and I are at our cottage and we will be either fucking or napping all day.

Jane: I won a big award for work this year and I am getting rewarded.

Caitlin
Caitlin: My kind of day!

Cassie
Cassie: Jane is really out of her shell now.

Caitlin
Caitlin: I think the shell was thoroughly broken the night of the Cup final.

Jane: 🫣

Selena
Selena: You own a cottage together?

Jane: Technically it's mine, but, it's really ours now. We can just be together here without any of the other stuff from the world. It's the best.

Cassie
Cassie: You know you can do that with us too, right? You can come around and we can make sure no one knows you're with Ilya. We can keep it in the team. Or you could just be my cousin or something.

Caitlin
Caitlin: Why aren't you married? Do we need to make the guys sit him down?

Lily

Today 10:32 AM
  Lily: Shane.

Lily: Get off your phone.

Lily: Is this the only way I can get your attention now? I have to text you from the same table?

Shane: You're the one who added me to the WAG chat.

September 19 9:23 AM
  Cassie
Cassie: It's goodbye husband week once again.

Cassie: How are we feeling?

Selena
Selena: Is it bad I'm a little excited to have the house to myself sometimes?

Cassie
Cassie: All feelings are valid here.

Caitlin
Caitlin: Evan's mother is here in case I go into labor while he is gone. And because I can barely tie my own shoes. Which is kind and selfless and something I am very grateful for.

Caitlin: I also might lose it within 12-16 hours without Evan as a buffer.

Selena
Selena: 😆 Been there. Call me when you need that buffer and I'll be right over

Jane: I don't know how much longer I can keep doing this.

Jane: Each time we say goodbye it kills me a little bit more and I think it's the same for Ilya.

Jane: I'm worried it might be worse for him than me. But he hides it and I'm not there.

Cassie
Cassie: Do you want advice or just to vent?

Jane: I don't know. I don't know that there is any advice. I've looked at this from every angle and the only way out is to blow everything up.

Cassie
Cassie: There's no way you can get a new job closer?

Jane: No. I can't really explain why, but there's no way. And I'm traveling for work so often, even when the Centaurs are at home there's no guarantee I'm around. It's better than when he was in Boston, but it's not good.

Jane: And there's no end in sight.

Selena
Selena: That sucks.

Caitlin
Caitlin: Whenever you need to bitch about the universe we're here.

Jane: Thanks.

Jane: Can you keep an eye on him? See if you can get him to do anything other than sit in his empty house when I'm not there.

Cassie
Cassie: We'll do everything we can.

October 19 2:30 PM
  Lisa
Lisa: What's everyone's opinion on public sex?

Caitlin
Caitlin: Sounds like something I would ask.

Lisa
Lisa: Wyatt is trying really hard to get me to give him road head.

Selena
Selena: Please don't have any kind of sex in a moving car.

Lisa
Lisa: I guess that's not quite the right term. He wants to drive somewhere semi-secluded and get a blowjob in the car.

Selena
Selena: That's a lot safer. Not on my list though.

Jane: It's super hot.

Jane: Ilya and I used to meet between Boston and Montreal sometimes when he was still on the Bears. We've had our share of sex in or on cars.

Caitlin
Caitlin: Oh, I love when you show your freak side to us.

Lisa
Lisa: On? You weren't worried about getting caught?

Jane: We were in the middle of nowhere with no one around. But the possibility of getting caught is hot too.

Caitlin
Caitlin: Do tell.

Jane: You can't tell anyone

Caitlin
Caitlin: 🤐

Cassie
Cassie: This is a safe space. 🙊

Jane: Sometimes Ilya goes down on me when I'm on the phone with a friend.

Cassie
Cassie: 😲

Selena
Selena: 😲

Lisa
Lisa: 😲

Caitlin
Caitlin: Can't they tell?

Jane: I think I was saved the first time since he had a newborn and was too sleep deprived to realize what was going on. But I've gotten really good at being quiet over the years. And the mute button is your friend.

Selena
Selena: Years?! How often does this happen?!

Jane: It's only a couple times a year. Usually in the summer when we aren't so rushed with our time together.

Caitlin
Caitlin: "Only a couple of times a year" she says, like we're talking about going to the dentist.

Lisa
Lisa: My potential car blow job seems really vanilla now.

Cassie
Cassie: You've got to start somewhere.

  Caitlin
Caitlin: Evan's mother is ON for Halloween so I better see every one of you at Ilya's since I am LEAVING THE HOUSE!!!

Cassie
Cassie: woooooo!!!

Cassie: What's everyone wearing? Zane wants to be a pirate and have me be a wench, but I think I might just wear maternity leggings and one of those t-shirts that has a baby skeleton over the belly.

Caitlin
Caitlin: Comfort is key. Speaking of which, I can bring that box of maternity clothes to the party for you. I think if I give them to Evan to give to Zane they will just live in the trunk of his car until the baby turns 3.

Cassie
Cassie: You're probably right, that would be awesome.

Caitlin
Caitlin: I'm going as a sexy butterfly.

Lisa
Lisa: What makes a butterfly sexy?

Caitlin
Caitlin: Cleavage.

Lisa
Lisa: 😆

Lisa: I'm going as Wonder Woman, which always makes Wyatt very happy.

Caitlin
Caitlin: How often do you dress up as Wonder Woman?

Lisa
Lisa: More than you would think.

Selena
Selena: Can I get away with all black and a witch hat? I don't think I can do another costume on top of the kids'.

Lisa
Lisa: Just wear a low cut black top and then you're a sexy witch.

Selena
Selena: Perfect!

Cassie
Cassie: I think I know the answer, but Jaaaaannnnne. Will you be there?

Jane: I have to work early the next day.

Jane: I'm really glad you'll all be there. Ilya needs this more than he realizes.

Jane: Can you do me a favor? Give me a heads up when the party is winding down?

Lisa

Caitlin: Okay, we're in the middle of the boys being gone for a week and my only company for the past 3 days has been a 6 week old. I am exhausted and barely know what's going on.

Caitlin: Ellie is napping and I should sleep, but I just want some adult company.

Caitlin: And every time Jane opens her mouth we find out more and more about what a freak she is (in a good way!)

Jane: Who's turn is it?

Cassie
Cassie: I'll go

Cassie: Never have I ever fooled around in a locker room

Caitlin
Caitlin: 🍹

Caitlin: That one feels targeted. I never should have told you about that.

Jane: What counts as fooled around?

Shane: Why did I let you talk me into this chat. This is so embarrassing.

Lily: 🤣

Lily: It's okay moy lyubimyy. You are a giant freaky slut for me.

Lily: It's just a few more people know now how much you need it.

  Jane: Are you all at the party? Did Ilya go?

Selena
Selena: We're here, but Ilya didn't come.

Cassie
Cassie: I thought you two were spending the day together.

Jane: I fucked up.

Jane: Massively.

Jane: We had a huge fight and he kicked me out. Deservedly.

Jane: He's not responding to my texts. They're not even showing delivered. Can someone please check on him after the party?

Lisa
Lisa: Wyatt and I can stop by on the way home. We could bring him some leftover food. Make it look natural.

Lisa: Where are you?

Jane: Thank you. I'm at home in Montreal.

Selena
Selena: Do you want to talk more about the fight?

Jane: He asked me to go to the party. I don't think he realized I already knew about it.

Jane: And I was so confused because we both want to keep this secret. Or I thought we did. But all of a sudden he's not okay with that anymore.

Selena
Selena: Is it really all of a sudden? He "introduced" you to us almost a year ago.

Jane: Ugh, you're right.

Cassie
Cassie: All you've ever said about why it's a secret is because you don't want the public to know. Lovingly, this amount of secrecy seems a little extreme for that.

Jane: It's not the only reason.

Jane: My career would be over if people knew. Completely done. Ilya's would be too, but I guess he doesn't care about that anymore either.

Lisa
Lisa: What about just us, just the team. Start small.

Selena
Selena: What the hell do you do that being in a public relationship with Ilya would destroy both your careers?

Selena: Are you some anti-Russia CSIS officer?

Caitlin
Caitlin: Does anyone know who you both are? Like is there anyone you can be with in person and act like a couple?

Jane: Yes. And as he pointed out today, they are all my people. My friends. My parents.

Caitlin
Caitlin: Girl, you've got to at least let him have someone on his side.

Jane: I realize that now.

Jane: But even after this fight when I think about people knowing about us I feel full body panic. I might throw up just talking about it.

Selena
Selena: Take a few breaths.

Selena: It kind of sounds like you might need a new career.

Jane: I've worked my whole life for my career.

Selena
Selena: Is it worth it if it prevents you from being with the person you love? It's just a job. Is it more important than Ilya?

Jane: He asked me the same question.

Caitlin
Caitlin: What did you say?

Jane: I said he is more important.

Jane: But I probably didn't say it fast enough.

Caitlin
Caitlin: I always thought Ilya was keeping you secret. Like, he only gave in to add you here as a concession to the guys. But it's feeling like it might be the other way.

Jane: I thought we were keeping each other secret. It feels like he's changed the rules without telling me.

Lisa
Lisa: Do you mean it? Is he more important that your job?

Jane: Yes. So much more.

Lisa
Lisa: You two need to talk. Really talk. Lay it all out there.

Selena
Selena: And maybe get some therapy. That degree of panic is not good for you.

Cassie
Cassie: We love you, but it does sound like you've kind of been shitty to him.

Jane: I have. I didn't know.

Lisa
Lisa: You know now.

Cassie
Cassie: Look

Cassie: This is the picture Zane sent me to ask if I thought Ilya had a girlfriend. (Sorry on behalf of Zane for the creep shot.)

Cassie: [image: Ilya in the Centaurs locker room. He is in a compression shirt. His hair is sweaty and plastered to his face. His cross is in his mouth as he looks at this phone with a soft smile and bright eyes.]

Cassie: Zane said "Ilya is always looking at his phone like this, he has to have a girlfriend, right?"

Cassie: And it only took two days to get your number after that.

Cassie: That is a man who loves you so much.

Selena
Selena: Let him do it out loud. Or at least turn up the volume a bit.

Lisa Hayes

December 26 10:24 PM
  Lisa: Ilya's okay. I mean, he looks as devastated as you sound. But he's okay.

Lisa: He said he'll call you.

Jane: Did he say when?

Lisa: He didn't.

Jane: Thanks for checking on him.

December 28 3:29 AM
  Lisa: I don't know if it's the right thing to say this. But I think I know something.

Lisa: All I'll say is that Scott Hunter still has a great career.

Lisa: So don't worry about Ilya if he's not worried about himself.

  Cassie
Cassie: Does everyone know what's happening right now?

Caitlin
Caitlin: no?

Cassie
Cassie: Something was wrong with their plane.

Cassie: Zane was texting me while the plane was crashing.

Cassie: Then he just stopped.

Cassie: I have no idea what's happening. Has anyone else heard from anyone?

Caitlin
Caitlin: oh my god

Lisa
Lisa: There's nothing online

Selena
Selena: Who do we even call to ask about this?

Cassie
Cassie: I think I'm having contractions.

Lisa
Lisa: Call your doctor now. Are you alone?

Cassie
Cassie: Yes

Lisa
Lisa: @Selena, how fast can you get to Cassie to drive her?

Selena
Selena: Five minutes. Keys are in my hand.

January 9 7:34 PM
  Caitlin
Caitlin: anyone have any news? Evan's still not answering

January 9 7:56 PM
  Lisa
Lisa: I'm on the phone with Wyatt. Everyone is safe. Some people are a little banged up.

Lisa: They didn't actually crash, but a lot of phones went flying during the flight/landing and they had to evacuate quickly. They're passing around the ones they have. If you think your husband doesn't have your number memorized I can send it to Wyatt.

Lisa: Cassie, are you okay? Did they send you to the hospital? I haven't made it out the door yet, I can come check in.

Selena
Selena: They sent us to L&D since the office is closed. They don't think she's in real labor but she'll be on the fetal monitor for a while longer.

Lisa
Lisa: Zane lost his phone. I'm going to hang up with Wyatt now so Zane can call her.

Lisa: I'll come by and see you guys before I leave the building.

Caitlin
Caitlin: Has anyone heard from Jane? Does she even know what happened? Are they talking to each other right now?

Caitlin: She's been quiet in the chat since their fight.

Lisa
Lisa: That might be my fault.

Selena
Selena: @Lisa, is Ilya one of the guys with a working phone?

Lisa
Lisa: I'm not sure what's going on with them. I'll call her.

Lily: I thought you weren't going to send pictures.

Shane: You almost died.

Lily: I should do that more often.

Shane: Don't even joke.

Lily

January 15 11:12 AM
  Lily: I did something stupid this morning.

Lily: I was playing with ring on bus and Hayes noticed it.

Lily: He asked me about it and I said it is engagement ring.

Lily: I wasn't thinking.

Lily: Bood eventually said something about it taking a special woman to do the proposal and I

Lily: I broke.

Lily: It is like I physically couldn't make the words for it to be joke.

Lily: I said there is no woman.

Lily: And now I am hiding in back row of plane and we are going to take off before you are done with practice and see these messages.

Lily: I am sure the WAGs are all going to know something. Tell them whatever you want. I will avoid the subject with team until you can tell me what you want to do.

Lily: I am sorry.

Lisa Hayes

December 28 3:29 AM
  Lisa: I don't know if it's the right thing to say this. But I think I know something.

  Jane: What do you think you know?

Lisa: I think you're not a woman

December 30 8:13 PM
  Jane: Please don't tell anyone

Lisa: Never. Not even Wyatt.

January 9 10:07 PM
  Lisa: I heard your voicemail greeting and I won't tell anyone. But I think it would be okay if you did.

January 10 9:34 AM
  Jane: I really don't think it will be.

Lisa: I've seen Wyatt through more than one team. The Centaurs are different.

Jane: The Centaurs might be okay, but there are a lot of people who won't be.

Lisa: Probably. But you don't have to go straight to everyone. Why not start with a safe group?

January 15 11:25 AM
  Lisa: Heads up.

Lisa: Wyatt texted me to ask if I think Jane is "a dude."

Lisa: I didn't see it until after they took off so I have no information about why he would ask that.

Cassie Boodram

January 15 11:28 AM
  Cassie: Hey

Cassie: Are you okay? Did you and Ilya break up?

Cassie: I know it was tough at Christmas, but you sounded hopeful after that.

Cassie: And now Ilya told the team that he doesn't have a girlfriend anymore.

Cassie: Please let me know you're okay. We're not going to disappear just because you and Ilya aren't together anymore. You won't believe how many first wives are in WAG chats across North America.

Selena Chouinard

January 15 11:35 AM
  Selena: I heard from Nick that Ilya is having a rough day

Selena: That he proposed to you and you said no. And also that you might be a man.

Selena: I really don't care about the last part.

Selena: But I get how that would make all of the stuff that came up at Christmas a lot harder.

Selena: I just hate to see you lose each other out of fear.

Centaurs WAGs

January 15 1:07 PM
  Jane: I appreciate all of you reaching out separately, but since everyone's questions have the same answer, I'll just do it at once.

Cassie
Cassie: Jane!!!

Selena
Selena: 💕

Jane: Ilya and I have not broken up.

Jane: Ilya and I are engaged. I proposed.

Jane: I am a man.

Jane: I'm sorry for lying.

Selena
Selena: Wow

Cassie
Cassie: I didn't see that coming.

Cassie: I get why you kept it a secret. But I also hope you know that this changes nothing.

Cassie: I don't care at all.

Selena
Selena: Me either.

Caitlin
Caitlin: What the hell did I miss?!

Caitlin: I mean, I don't care you're a guy, but how did we even get here?

Lisa
Lisa: I think something happened with the team and Ilya before they got on the plane. I got a pretty cryptic message from Wyatt.

Cassie
Cassie: Zane told me they broke up.

Selena
Selena: Nick told me Jane rejected Ilya's proposal.

Caitlin
Caitlin: Ah, and since Evan notices fuckall, I got left out of this little Rashomon remake?

Cassie
Cassie: I think we can all agree that part happened.

Cassie: Let's loop back around to the ENGAGEMENT

Jane: You guys really don't care? I've been lying to you for close to a year.

Caitlin
Caitlin: Did you ever actually lie? Or just let us assume?

Jane: Well, the name is a lie and that started the whole thing.

Selena
Selena: Oooooo, what's your real name?

Jane: Just Jane for now.

Cassie
Cassie: WHY am I the ONLY one who wants to talk about how Jane PROPOSED to Ilya and they are now ENGAGED?

Selena
Selena: 🍾

Lisa
Lisa: 🥂

Caitlin
Caitlin: 🥳

Jane: Thanks. I don't want to do any of this without him. I still feel like the world might end when we come out, but at least we'll be together.

Jane: And thank you all for helping me realize that I needed to make sure he knows he's my priority.

Jane: And maybe thank you to their shitty plane for hammering it home.

Jane: And thank you to Lisa for not freaking out when she found out who I am so I have some hope other people might be cool about it too.

Cassie
Cassie: WHAT DO YOU MEAN LISA KNOWS WHO YOU ARE?

Selena
Selena: Like actual identity? Like name on your ID? Like what you just refused to tell us?

Jane: I don't actually know how she figured out I'm a guy, but she called me after the plane and heard my voicemail. Don't worry, I changed it so that can't happen again.

Cassie
Cassie: LISA

Caitlin
Caitlin: Dammit.

Lisa
Lisa: 🙊

Selena
Selena: Everyone here will be cool

Jane: You say that now.

Cassie
Cassie: Wait, do we know who you are? Are you famous?

Jane: Kind of.

Lisa
Lisa: Yes.

Lily

January 15 1:23 PM
  Shane: I told them the truth. I'm a guy, we're engaged, I proposed. They won't tell their husbands anything that happens in the chat, so it's up to you if you want to tell everyone.

Shane: I suggest you do because 1. I know you've wanted to for a while and 2. most of your team seems to think we broke up.

Shane: I also told them that I don't want to do anything without you so I'm repeating that to you now.

Shane: You are not broken. But if something isn't working, we just have to keep finding the right thing to fix it. I am done being in the way of that. Don't apologize to me for not wanting to lie about us.

Shane: Call me when you get to your hotel. 😽

Cassie: And the travel crib

Cassie: And the three kinds of baby carriers

Cassie: And the 30 pack of wash cloths

Cassie: And the duck tub

Jane: You're welcome

Cassie: So you're definitely rich and famous right? Because I am married to a hockey player and at the very least can afford wash cloths.

Lily: Right now I am more interested in making my own.

Shane: You can be sad for us.

Lily: I know it's more complicated for us, but…

Shane: Yeah. But.

Shane: We have a plan now. Summer. For real.

Shane: If you need it to be sooner, just say the word. We'll figure something out.

Lily: No, summer is still good.

Cassie added Harris to the chat
  Cassie
Cassie: Okay ladies! And Jane

Cassie: New member coming in. Not that you don't already all know him.

Selena
Selena: Except for Jane.

Cassie
Cassie: We probably need a new name now that we're one third non-WAG.

Harris
Harris: It's nice to be part of this group!

Cassie
Cassie: So what do we call ourselves now?

Harris
Harris: I realize it's not the most inclusive term, but 14-year-old me with my Centaurs calendar on my bedroom wall kind of loves the idea of being a WAG!

Caitlin
Caitlin: Did everyone in this chat spend their formative years ogling pictures of hockey players?

Selena
Selena: Yes

Harris
Harris: Yes

Jane: In hindsight? Yes.

Caitlin
Caitlin: 🤣

Selena
Selena: @Jane, any opinion on the name?

Jane: I've been a WAG for a year, why change now?

Selena
Selena: So, Harris. How did you and Troy even happen?

Selena: Was it love at first site?

Caitlin
Caitlin: I know it was lust at first site

Selena
Selena: Caitlin!

Caitlin
Caitlin: We all have eyes

Harris
Harris: Caitlin's more right than Selena

Caitlin
Caitlin: Ha! See

Harris
Harris: The first time I met him, I thought he was a huge homophobe

Harris: He kept glaring at my pins.

Cassie
Cassie: I think we all thought he was a huge homophobe without even having to meet him.

Harris
Harris: Turns out he was just jealous I could wear them

Harris: He had a lot of stuff going on.

Jane: Not a great excuse.

Harris
Harris: It's not, but he's definitely not the person you've all seen on the ice in Toronto.

Selena
Selena: Have you been secretly dating this whole season?

Harris
Harris: I wish!

Harris: We didn't hook up for the first time until Tampa

Selena
Selena: So you almost die and then hook up in Florida and live happily ever after.

Harris
Harris: Not quite. But we got there.

Cassie
Cassie: How's it been the past couple days since the whole thing went public?

Harris
Harris: The reaction to Troy has been overwhelmingly positive. There are obviously assholes, but they are drowned out.

Harris: I can't believe the change in Troy, like, overnight.

Harris: He's so much happier.

Lisa
Lisa: Wyatt said the team has been really good to Troy. Are they being good to you too?

Harris
Harris: I did know them all already, but they've been totally cool with me as the boyfriend. And here you are all as well!

Cassie
Cassie: It's probably been tough to hide your relationship.

Harris
Harris: We didnt, really. Even after we hooked up, Troy specifically avoided a relationship at first because he didn't want to ask me to hide. Once he changed his mind, things moved pretty fast.

Selena
Selena: Seems like that would have been hard.

Harris
Harris: Impossible for me, I think.

Harris: Troy hid a two-year-long relationship before and it was really bad for him.

Cassie
Cassie: So now that Troy's paved the way, do you think it would be even easier for a second person to do it?

Lisa

February 26 10:14 AM
Shane: This is coordinated right?

Shane: In whatever chat you all have without me you have planned out which pointed question each of you will ask?

Lisa: It's not

Lisa: We're just getting to know Harris.

Lisa: You escaped this because everything was secret and we were trying to respect that.

Shane: Harris's comments sure seem targeted.

Lisa: Harris is new. He doesn't know enough to be targeted. Almost like it's just that good to be open about your life and the person you love.

Shane: You know it's different for me and Ilya than Harris and Troy.

Lisa: I don't think it's as different as you think it is.

Centaurs WAGs

Cassie
Cassie: So now that Troy's paved the way, do you think it would be even easier for a second person to do it?

Harris
Harris: It would certainly split the focus.

Harris: Which is not to say it's been bad or that either of us would take it back. It has taken some energy to deal with though.

Selena
Selena: 🤔

Caitlin
Caitlin: Almost sounds like it would be altruistic for another Centaur to go public about his male partner.

Harris
Harris: This seems less about me.

Jane: It is.

Jane: They want me and Ilya to come out and are not being subtle.

Jane: Even though we have a plan and a completely different situation than yours.

Cassie
Cassie: We're not even saying come out-out. Well, not all of us. But maybe come with Ilya to the next barbecue.

Caitlin
Caitlin: Tell us your name!

Harris
Harris: If you're worried about the public, I can help Ilya with the social media side. And help you preemptively lock yours down if you want. But the team is such a non-issue.

February 26 10:57 AM
Selena
Selena: I think we lost him

Harris

February 26 6:25 PM
Harris: Hey Jane

Harris: I'm sorry if I put any pressure on you today.

Harris: That wasn't my intention

Jane: I know

Jane: You got dropped into an ongoing situation.

Jane: I'm not mad or anything

Harris: Can I ask you a question?

Jane: I guess

Harris: How did you feel after the first time you came out to someone?

Jane: Do you count my girlfriend telling me I was gay as coming out?

Harris: That's actually something that happened?!

Jane: pretty much

Harris: You could probably sell movie rights for that.

Harris: But anyway, how did you feel?

Jane: It was one of the worst moments of my life. I thought I was going to die during it.

Harris: What about after?

February 26 7:02 PM
Jane: Lighter, I guess. That girlfriend is now one of the few people who knows me and Ilya as a couple.

Harris: What about the next time?

Jane: When my dad caught Ilya feeling me up against a glass door?

Harris: I'm going to start on the script tonight.

Harris: I'm going to guess that didn't feel great at the time either.

Jane: It didn't.

Harris: But after?

Jane: Better

Harris: Have you ever actually come out to someone who knows you in real life on purpose.

Jane: I came out to my workmates, but with the exception of a couple people that just made things kind of awkward. I'm good enough at my job that they just ignore it.

Harris: I'm sorry.

Jane: Even with the other WAGs, I only told them when Ilya accidentally forced the situation

Jane: But I guess it's been nice since they found out.

Harris: So that's a positive experience three out of four times.

Jane: I guess

Harris: I don't know how you live with the weight of the secrecy pushing down all the time.

Jane: Yeah. It's

Jane: I don't know.

Jane: It's just kind of normal.

Jane: I thought I would live my whole life like this, at least until retirement. I think I still would if it weren't for Ilya not wanting that.

Jane: Ilya's retirement*

Harris: That sounds terrible.

Harris: You both deserve so much better than that.

Lily

February 27 12:33 PM
Shane: Is it better for you now that everyone knows I'm a guy?

Shane: Or does it still feel like hiding?

Lily: It's better but

Lily: It doesn't just feel like hiding, it is hiding

Shane: Right

Shane: Harris said

Shane: Well, I can't tell you what Harris said, but it made me realize that the way I feel about hiding this is not the way everyone would feel.

Shane: And not the way you feel

Shane: I should have realized this a long time ago. From the beginning probably.

Lily: This is probably better phone conversation than text conversation.

Shane: Yeah

Shane: Will you have time to call tonight?

Lily: I have plans to go with Troy to dinner with Harris's family. But I can call after.

Shane: Okay.

February 27 2:57 PM
Shane: Do you want to tell them?

Lily: Tell them?

Shane: Troy and Harris. About me. About who Jane is.

Lily: Yes,I want that a lot. but

Lily: Are you sure?

Lily: I do not want to do something you will regret.

Lily: There's less careful and then there is this.

Lily: This is more than that.

Shane: I think we both need it.

Lily: I'm going to call you.

February 27 5:16 PM
Lily: I'm on my way to dinner.

Lily: Are you still sure?

Shane: Yes, do it.

Shane: Call me after. I love you.

Lily: I love you more.

Shane: Impossible

Harris: How do you feel now?

Shane: Like I'm going to throw up.

Shane: Also, better.

March 3 9:32 AM
Shane: Something weird is happening in the WAG chat.

Lily: Is Caitlin telling you about he thing with Dyskstra? Tell her not to worry because Bood and I are shutting that shit down.

Shane: No, nothing about Caitlin. Do I even want to know?

Lily: Maybe. You tell me your weird thing first.

Shane: No one has bothered me about telling them who I am for three days.

Lily: Interesting

Shane: Yes. And the timing lines up with when you told Troy and Harris.

Lily: What a strange coincidence

Shane: Is it?

Lily: It's possible Harris asked me if I thought you were okay with what they were saying in the chat.

Lily: And when he told me what they were saying, he looked at my face and came to the conclusion on his own that he needed to shut that down.

Shane: Well, that's nice I guess.

Shane: But could someone include me in decisions about my own life next time?

Lily: Sorry.

Lily: Harris was really mad.

Lily: And Harris doesn't get mad.

Shane: I know you both mean well.

Lily: You're right though.

Shane: So what's going on with Dykstra?

Caitlin: How does Ilya know?

Jane: Locker room recruitment.

Caitlin
Caitlin: oh god

Jane: He said to tell you he and Bood are "shutting that shit down"

Caitlin
Caitlin: I have seized control of our accounts until this passes, but still tell him thanks for me

Selena
Selena: When Nick was a rookie he joined Amway

Cassie
Cassie: Zane dumped a quarter of his ELC into some kind of shitty investment. I didn't know him well enough at the time to stop him.

Lisa
Lisa: The crypto stuff has been spreading through the league at least since Wyatt's time in Toronto. I'm honestly surprised it took this long to show up here.

Harris
Harris: oh yeah, Troy's talked about when he got into it for a while.

Harris: Only good thing his ex did was get him out of that

Jane: I didn't realize it was everywhere.

Jane: This is horrifying

Jane: Does everyone have a good financial advisor now? I can recommend someone in Ottawa.

March 4 8:27 AM
Shane: Four days with no coming out talk

Lily: 💖

Shane: Do you want to just do it? Only with your team. Not wait until summer.

Shane: I know the WAGs will keep it quiet. If you trust the team to keep it to themselves until the summer then so do I.

Shane: Harris and Troy know, Lisa already knows, and there's a separate chat where I think the rest of them are betting on my identity.

Lily: Who are you and what have you done with Shane Hollander?

Lily: This is a lot of change in not a lot of time.

Shane: I know. But it's better right?

Shane: If I feel it, you must feel it more than me.

Lily: You know I want this.

Shane: I do.

Lily: But coming out as bisexual and to Troy and Harris is good. It has helped.

Lily: I am scared you will change your mind. Or regret it. If we make a real plan and then don't do it

Lily: I don't think I can handle that, Shane.

Shane: I don't regret telling Troy and Harris. I don't think I'll regret this either.

Shane: I want this for you. I want this for us.

Lily: I need you to sleep on it please. Make sure you still feel the same way tomorrow.

Shane: I will.

Shane: You're still seeing Galina, right?

Lily: Yes

Shane: Good.

March 5 5:16 AM
Shane: I feel the same.

Shane: What if we text the group chats at the same time? Send pictures of the two of us.

Shane: Here are some choices:

Shane: [5 photos]

Shane: Completely.

March 5 2:06 PM

Jane: [image: Candid shot of Shane and Ilya on the dock at the cottage. Shane is sitting with his legs extended in front of him, slightly reclined with his hands behind him holding him up. Ilya is leaning back against his chest, slouched down so his head is at Shane's chest. Ilya has his head tipped back to look straight up at Shane who has his head bent over to look at Ilya. Shane's hair partially curtains their faces, but you can see enough to tell they are mid-laugh and look disgustingly in love.]

Jane: [image: Shane and Ilya, sitting cross-legged in front of a Christmas tree. It is an older picture as indicated by Shane's shorter hair. They are wearing matching pajamas featuring a moose in a santa hat playing hockey. They are surrounded by torn wrapping paper. Shane is holding a McDonald's gift card and Ilya has a tub of Supergreens. They are both scowling at their gift.]

Caitlin
Caitlin: Yeah, that's it. brb digging myself a hole to crawl into.

Shane: Don't worry. That's really on me.

Selena
Selena: I think we have a lot of re-reading to do with this information and it's going to be much worse for Shane than for us.

Shane: I think you're right.

Shane: I hope that can be my penance for hiding this for so long.

Lisa
Lisa: Is Ilya telling the team right now? Because Wyatt just screamed in the other room.

Shane: No.

Harris: 😈

Harris: I'm going to ask a rude question based on stereotypes and assumptions and you can tell me to fuck off

Shane: okay?

Harris: how on earth do you know what cruising is?

Shane: oh

Shane: 😄

Shane: I read a book

Harris: what did they say?

Shane: nothing

Harris: They didn't talk to you at all?

Shane: not really

Harris: That's…

Harris: I'm sorry.

Shane: It's actually better than I expected.

Harris: That doesn't make me feel better about this situation.

Shane: This is why I didn't want to come out

Shane: Or, go public I guess is the better term since I was already out to them

Shane: Not the only reason, but one of them

Shane: Yesterday was good but today it's like, no this is reality

Harris: Tory and I have talked a lot about being gay in hockey culture. I only have second hand knowledge, but even before talking with Troy I knew it wasn't good.

Harris: I love hockey. I want it to be better so I try to be especially…aggressive? I don't know if that's the right word. With pride stuff and rainbows around work. But obviously it's very different to be in an office than in the room.

Harris: I'm sure Troy would talk with you if you want.

Shane: The Centaurs welcomed him with with open fucking arms

Shane: Ilya tried to downplay it, but I know he was too.

Shane: And Troy spent years being the worst of hockey culture

Shane: sorry i know you're with him and he's better now but

Shane: also you're all white

Shane: no one actually knows what it's like in my situation

Harris: You're right, we don't

Harris: But you can tell us.

Shane: I'm sick of having to explain myself all the time.

Harris: fair enough
