January, 2011, one week out from All-Stars: to the surprise of everyone except the Hollanders, the Rozanovs, a journalist, two editors, and in-house counsel, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov announce they’re gay and bisexual in an exclusive for Men’s Health.
Five + one reactions to the shocking news.
Shane Hollander: I was in denial for a long time. I already stand out a lot as one of the only Asian guys in any given league. Having another thing that made me different was kind of a nightmare. But it turns out you can’t lie to yourself forever. I’m gay. (shrugs) Ten bucks says Rozanov’ll find a way to make this into a competition too.
Ilya Rozanov: I knew I was bisexual from a very young age, maybe twelve or so. So, you see, even though you interviewed him first, I was still faster than Hollander. But in Russia, culture has changed a lot even just in my lifetime. [The city of] Moscow banned public expressions by gays and lesbians when I was fifteen. I knew to be quiet.

The Wired Autocomplete Interview by Anonymous

2026-07-26
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.
or, the foals do the wired autocomplete interview. luca has a miserable time

𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 Hollanov Interview by Anonymous
Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers | Heated Rivalry - All Media Types
2026-07-16
Following their coming out, Shane and Ilya spend a whole summer doing interviews, talking about their relationship and about how it will affect hockey.
The interview season ends with them playing Truth or Drink for a magazine. During the game Shane gets a bit too drunk from all the questions he avoids answering, and he ends up revealing a bit too much about their dynamic, which isn't a big deal usually but Ilya is drunk as well and won't let it go.The headlines read: Shane Hollander is a Bottom, but he's not really bothered by them.

"Mr. Hollander, with all due respect, there is a very clear difference here. No one is stopping you and Mr. Rozanov from doing whatever you want in your free time, but this is a workplace. Many players and fans feel uncomfortable watching that kind of behaviour-"
"Then they can close their eyes," Shane interrupted in a very uncharacteristic manner.
OR: Shane has been the NHL golden boy for 11 seasons, but some people are simply begging for a verbal slapdown. The internet reacts.

[Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov sit on director’s chairs in a white sound studio. They are both wearing Ottawa Centaurs jerseys, and Ilya smiles warmly at Shane as a makeup artist places a small bit of powder across his cheeks while a producer hands them both a practice board.]
Shane: So, these are just internet searches people do of us?
Producer: Yes! The most popular ones, and you just answer or comment on them. There’s one board for you, one for Ilya, and then one of the two of you combined.
Shane: Sounds harmless enough.
Ilya: You do not spend much time on the internet if you think this sounds harmless.
Producer: Would you like to practice taking the tape off?
[They both nod, and she hands each of them a board. Shane politely and carefully rips off the top piece of tape, focusing on pulling it straight off without ripping it. During the time it takes Shane to take off one piece, Ilya rips off four, crumpling up the tape and throwing it in the air like confetti. A piece hits Shane’s head, and he looks at his husband, slightly startled, while Ilya beams back happily.]

LILLIAN: Today we have brought you in to talk about our rookies, or the Centaur Foals as we’re calling them.
ILYA: Foals?
BOYLE: … the name doesn’t really strike fear into the heart of our enemies.
BARRETT: Oh that’s cute, did Harris come up with that? How many meetings did that take?
LILLIAN: Each of you have been paired up with a different rookie to talk about.
or, the social media marketing starts early. to hype up the new rookies (and the old ones) the centaurs start running their PR campaign introducing the new talent that will one day define the centaurs

“You said Rozanov is a great captain,” one of the reporters says, deviating from the usual script. “What makes him one? Do you think he’s better than you?”
If Ilya was here, Shane would immediately answer with a negative. He would also let Ilya be the one to brag about his many, many accomplishments, and maybe banter with him about who’s got more.
But Ilya’s not here.
And Shane is bored.
Or.
Shane spends a post game interview explaining that his husband is the best captain in the league and accidentally starts a hashtag.- Part 5 of Heated Rivalry Oneshots

[Inside the Ottawa Centaurs’ locker room, Harris Drover attaches a microphone to Shane Hollander’s shirt as Ilya Rozanov sits next to him at a table. The two prepare to share the contents of their backpacks, which sit on the table in front of them]
Shane: I thought when people did these interviews, they got to like, pick what’s in their bag beforehand. It’s not usually a spontaneous thing, is it?
Ilya: How would you know this?
Shane: I watched one that Rose did.
Ilya: Oh, of course you watched Rose doing one of these videos. Did she have a framed photo of you in her bag so she could gush about how much you love each other?
Shane: Do I seriously need to remind you that I chose to marry you, and that we live and work together, and Rose is just my friend I see like twice a year?
Ilya: Yes.
Shane: Are you sure you want to do this with us, Harris?
Harris: I can’t help that the people love you. Besides, I’ve convinced myself this will be fun.
Shane: That’s not very comforting.
Harris: Neither is the look on Ilya’s face that’s telling me I will definitely come to regret this, but that’s the job!

Speaking of Hollander, what was it like training with him this summer?
Wow. Hollzy is intense, you know. Everyone knows. Always pushing harder, pushing for more, nagging about diet. But it paid off, don’t you think?
You do look ready for the season. Spending so much time with him, did you learn anything new about him?
New? Yes. You know he is bird watcher now.
A little ficlet inspired by this video of Kevin Hayes trolling Sidney Crosby.

Several years into Rozanov’s career, ESPN hires a reporter fluent in Russian.
Suddenly able to answer questions fluently and with a wide vocabulary, Rozanov’s interviews go viral. Hockey fans around the world get a new look at what they thought about Boston’s #81. This changes not only his public persona, but his whole life.
Inspired by the look on NBA star Nikola Jokić’s face when he was asked a question in his native Serbian and my own struggles learning a new language.

Hollander: Look, I want to play hockey against the best, and I think people should be paid what they’re worth, and I don’t care what—
[Hollander gestures awkwardly at his body]
Hollander: —whatever. Does someone want to ask me about the hockey game that just finished?

Extra, extra, read all about it (Shane's in his feelings and he can't get out of it) by Anonymous
Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
2026-03-17
In March 2019 Shane Hollander is blissfully okay. His best friend is the best beard he could ever imagine, his career is at an all time high and he’s getting his own book, or well shared book, about his rivalry with Rozanov. Still, something gnaws at his soul when he has to do a final interview and photoshoot with Rozanov and finds out his professional interest may have a more personal edge to it after all.
Ilya Rozanov is the perfect, second, son. He moved abroad for a high paying job and sends home money all the time, he has a slew of hot women at his side at all times and his team treats him like family. But he is a lover boy at heart and is it too much to ask for someone to come home to? Apparently, yes because his heart is set on him and the more Ilya hunts for the opposite, the more he yearns for not just a place but a person to call home.

Set during The Long Game
When Troy first joined the Centaurs, Ilya hadn't exactly been thrilled and in the moment he had decided to save his phone number under a not so flattering name... which he never changed, that is until Troy, almost a year later and by now close friends with Ilya, finds out and demands for his contact name to be changed. Ilya eventually agrees but of course he doesn't make it easy for Troy, who will have to win a bet in order for his wish to be granted.
Feat a small conversation between Ilya and Shane in chapter 1 and a slight side dish of social media-twitter reactions in chapter 2

#PlayboyHollander and #LoverboyRozanov you will always be famous by Anonymous

Set after my previous fic "The Whole Time", can be read as a stand-alone but it will make more sense if you read that one first. Both are also set post The Long Game.
It's Ilya's turn for his own Wired Autocomplete Interview and, unlike Shane, he refuses to run his mouth... or that was the plan at least... whether he's successful or not, that's up for debate.
Including, once more: lots of teasing, lame jokes, cursing, viral tweets, trending hashtags and one exasperated Shane Hollander.

Is the first day of the new season and Scott's a bit afraid of how his team will act now that he's out. Unfortunately, he cannot dwell on that because there's a video that Carter just has to show him. Or. Some reporter tries to get Ilya to comment on the Scott Hunter Kiss, he does not get the answer he was looking for.

Shane Hollander Sets the Record Straight (Gay) by Anonymous
Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid
2026-03-10
I need to start off by saying that I said that I wasn’t going to talk about the relationship between Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov, and I have stuck to that, but when Shane Hollander Himself reaches out to ask if you (moi) want to interview him, you (moi) don’t say no.
So here I am, talking to Shane Hollander about hockey, Ottawa, That Quote At All Stars, and his relationship with Ilya Rozanov.
