    Jane: Oh my god
    Jane: I’m sorry that is hilarious. What happened to your shirt?

    Ilya: you tell me!!!!

    Jane: I mean, it was in your laundry pile, so I probably washed it with the rest of the clothes.

    Ilya: shane
    Ilya: please tell me you did not put all my laundry through the machine at home

    “Good, well then that brings me to the real topic of conversation.” Another sigh from Coach Wiebe, “As I’m sure you’ve already guessed, those highlighted names have been offered rookie contracts and they’ve each expressed interest in living with a vet for their first year.”

    Ilya felt his heart fall into his stomach, afraid of the next words to come out of his Coach’s mouth.

    “We asked the rookies who they’d like to live with and, well, LaPointe wanted to board with you, Chouinard. And Young with you, Bood,” Wiebe then turned to Ilya who had frozen on the spot, “And Roz, Haas wants to live with you.”

    Bood and Chouinard chuckled as they watched Ilya’s eyes widen in horror.

     

    OR

     

    Luca Haas was drafted 2nd overall by the Ottawa Centaurs in 2018. Two years later, he anxiously moved halfway across the world to play his rookie season with the team. He requested to live with Ilya Rozanov and they slowly became family.

    HOLLANDER: No.

    ROZANOV, delighted: Oh! This will be fun.

    HOLLANDER: Where’s Barrett? He can do this.

    HOLLANDER actively walks off-set.

    "What’s going on?”

    “Not much,” Ilya says breezily. Everything is okay now that he’s talking to Shane. Everything is perfect. “Just hanging.”

    “Just…hanging,” Shane repeats skeptically. “Sure, yeah.”

    “I miss you,” Ilya says, because this is crucial information that Shane needs to know. Though, there was something else he was supposed to tell him…

    “Oh, I forgot to tell you. We’ve been drugged.”

    “I turned the other cheek every fucking time. I still got tossed on my ass the second I went too far over the line, and threatened by the commissioner, and told to kill myself on just about every social media platform because my nightmare that I’d get outed came true. And you, after everything you did, got to come out to a supportive team and fans, get a slap on the wrist, and have your happy fucking ending.”

    HOLMBERG, reading: “Who are the Ottawa Foals?”

    YOUNG: This makes us sound like a YouTube dude-bro house.

    LEVIN: The hottest men in the league.

    JONES: We all know it’s Shane. You know it’s Shane based on the fact you have a [BEEP]in’ poster of him on your door.

    LAPOINTE: The Ottawa Foals is the name of the young core on the Ottawa Centaurs. It is mostly rookie players still on Entry Level Contracts but I am on my extension contract with the Cens. So I’m not a rookie anymore.

    2026-06-08

    There's another baby photo trend going around social media, and since the last one went over so well, Harris wants the team to try it. It's the one where they put a statement about an adult over a picture of them as a baby, like a cherubic little baby Ilya captioned "THIS IS WHO PUNCHED A REFEREE." But this time, the Centaurs staff are getting in on the action, and Harris shows his own version to the team as an example.

    When Shane sees little tiny Harris, he's struck literally speechless. He's been hanging out with Harris since before he was officially a Centaur. How did he never recognize that the team's social media manager was his favorite teammate from junior skills clinics? How did he not realize, with the benefit of hindsight and also knowing his sexuality, that Harris was his biggest childhood crush?

    (No angst, no cheating, no insecurity. It's all good times and fond memories here!)

    The thing about being gay and closeted---gay and closeted and desperate to stay there and terrified that the people around you will figure it out---is that it leads to a lot of walking on eggshells. You wear a purple shirt one time and a teammate says that it's girly, what are you, gay?, and you laugh it off then throw the shirt away and never wear anything purple (or pink, or orange or yellow, just to be safe) again. You can sacrifice that to keep your secret, your friendships, your career safe.

    One locker room joke about bands that wear eyeliner, and rookie Shane Hollander (whose buddy Joe lost a stick of liner in his car on their way to Warped Tour that summer to celebrate the start of his NHL career) panics and says he doesn't listen to music at all, ever. To keep the lie going, he stops listening to music in public for over a decade---until Harris is trying to talk to him about a social media trend and references a song Shane is too distracted to pretend he doesn't know.

    “He’s the most adulty,” Bee hisses.

    Shane squints at the group. “What have you done?”

    “Nothing!” Young squeaks which immediately means they have done something. “Uhm, just say hypothetically your washing machine is flooding and you try to open it to drain it, suddenly your entire laundry is flooding.”

    “Is the drain hose connected properly?”

    “Don’t look at me!” Arty whines. “Do I look like I know how to fix a drain hose? I don’t— stop looking at me!”
