    Summary

    When Montreal Metros attempted to push out their captain, Shane Hollander, Ottawa leapt at the chance to have the two men playing on the same team. Scoffed at by many as a politically motivated gambit and sure to fail, the gamble-that-never-was paid off big time as the team has won three of the past seven cup games. Ottawa has consistently pushed back against the established narrative, refusing to be defined by metrics others claimed were the only path to success. Instead, they seemingly laugh at all established conventions and take pride in ripping up the rulebook and winning anyway. I wanted to understand how far this philosophy went, so I was invited by Coach Wiebe and the team to join them for a week of training camp to see how much of the Centaur’s unconventional approach is media PR and how much is genuine. This is what I learned after spending a week with them on and off the ice.

     

    A sports journalist reaches out to the Centaur's to try to understand what makes the team tick, and is invited to join their first week of training camp to find out. This is the article they wrote.

    Summary

    “I know there have always been people who…expect a lot from you,” Ilya went on, choosing his words carefully. “But just you is enough for me. You are not perfect, but if you were perfect, then you wouldn’t be Shane anymore.”

    His words hung in the air, dripping with care.

    “And Shane is enough for me. I don’t want anything else.”

    Summary

    Unfortunately, Rozanov seems determined to make room for him anyway.

    Summary

    It is generally accepted that omega's are prohibited from playing in the NHL, that they should be regulated to the college level leagues or the PEHL - People's Elite Hockey League, a league made specially for those whose genders are deemed unfit for the NHL.

    In legal terms, the mandate is as follows:

    “The National Hockey League strives for equality and will not deny a registered participant their place in a respectful, harmonious workplace environment on the basis of sex - primary or secondary -, sexual orientation, age, race, colour, national or ethnic origin, disability, marital or familial status. It is asked that all roles - players, coaches, volunteers or other officials - respect this mandate whilst still attaining the expected qualities and performance of a professional in a high intensity position”

    In practice it means that there are few Omegas who make it to the draft, and none who make it onto the ice. Aiden Young lives and breathes hockey, he refuses to let his NHL dreams be stolen from underneath him because of his presentation. The only wrench in the plan is one Luca Haas.

    || Irina walks on Shane’s left, holding Bunny in the hand farthest from him. It surprises Shane, but he doesn’t react, just walks with her at his side.

    “Thank you,” she says so softly he barely hears her. He glances at her, and she’s looking at him with a bright blush on her face.

    “You don’t need to thank us, Irina, we’d do it a million times over in a heartbeat.” ||

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is Canada's golden boy and new queer role model, with his perfect parents and media awareness. Ilya Rozanov is good at hockey and that's about it. Despite this, they couldn't be happier to be out, married, and playing for the same team. But when their mental health struggles lead to miscommunication and arguments, can they sort through how they have been shaped by their vastly different childhoods to learn how to support each other?

    you were sweet, i got mean
    and when we fight, i refuse to eat
    you're sensible, i'm hating it / what a good job that your mother did
    you were kind, i was cruel
    in another life, maybe i was you
    and i grew up into something good / somebody who could swallow love
    i bet you grew up eating at the table / fed love from silver spoons, reasons to be grateful
    you ask about kids, i don't know if i’m able
    i bet you grew up being asked how your day was
    i bet you grew up grazing your knees / but the fall wasn't fatal like it was for me
    we're the product of love that we do not receive
    i'll corrupt every branch of this family tree

    Summary

    Unfortunately for Luca, he didn’t think he was ever going to meet someone in Ottawa. He was the victim of having a very particular type that not many guys could live up to. He was desperately attracted to closeted, cocky, athletic fuckboys. Especially star athletes. He wanted a man that knew what he wanted, could chirp with the best, and could throw him around like a ragdoll. There was probably some pathology there about spending so much time in sports around toxic masculinity during puberty, but he did not want to analyze that any farther.

    But as he hated to admit, Chloe was right. He deserved to not feel lonely, and with a little bit of effort, he could probably find someone to sleep with regularly. It might not be in Ottawa, but he was in 31 other cities throughout the season. A ton of guys in the league had regular hookups in various NHL markets. With the wine coursing through his system, Luca decided this was the perfect solution. He wasn’t ready to date seriously, but he could have some fun. It was time to build a roster.
    __

    OR

    Luca Haas, fresh off of a breakup, decided it was time to try casual relationships. He wasn't prepared for the friendship and emotional growth he'd find along the way.

    Summary

    "I'm sort of waiting for the other shoe to drop.”

    Ilya’s brow furrows and his eye squints the way it does when he's parsing his mental English phrasebook to determine what someone is saying.

    “Waiting for… bad thing to happen, yes?”

    Shane smiles sadly but nods, “Yeah, exactly.”

    “Well, first shoe is pretty great. Wonderful shoe, even. I've never seen a more special or important shoe in my life,” Ilya gushes.

    As the Centaurs go on their road trip without Shane, Shane has to face down Roger Crowell alone.

    Summary

    Luca has always been the one watching from the sidelines—quiet, anxious, and surrounded by people who seem to find love so easily. Starting university feels like just another reminder that he’s still waiting for something… or someone.

    Then he notices Eric.

    Confident, composed, and impossible to read, Eric is everything Luca isn’t—and everything he can’t stop thinking about. What begins as a simple fascination quickly turns into something deeper, pulling Luca into a connection he doesn’t fully understand.

    But Eric has rules: don’t get attached, don’t look too close, and definitely don’t expect him to stay.

    Or
