Summary
Ilya Rozanov boards a plane putting more distance between him and his father and the pressure of life in Russia.
Shane Hollander boards the same plane with a carefully planned routine and excitement over a break from his sometimes overbearing, but always loving Mother.
Somewhere between Toronto and Vancouver they discover they have a lot in common and become friends.
They were supposed to be rivals. They were not supposed to fall for each other. Too bad nobody told them that.

Summary
“Ilya Rozanov,” Shane repeats slowly, letting himself taste the words. He grins. “Wow. You’re, like, a really good player. How come you’re in Canada for summer camp? Is that weird to ask? Sorry if that’s weird. I just meant-”
Shane is cut off by a hand on his mouth. He flushes.
“Too fast,” Ilya says. “My English… not good.”
“Sorry,” Shane mumbles into Ilya’s hand. Ilya grins and shakes his head, curls dancing, as he pulls his hand away.
“Is okay. Slow words. Okay?”
This year marks thirteen year Shane Hollander's third summer at Coach Marakov's elite hockey training camp. In attendance for the first time: Ilya Rozanov, visiting from Russia. Shane isn't the most sociable, and Ilya's English isn't the greatest, yet the unlikely duo soon become the best of friends.
It's just one summer, but it makes a world of difference.

Summary
“I don’t want to go back to school,” he whispered. “I don’t want summer to end.”
I don’t want to lose you.
“We will make it work.” The assurance of his steady tone, the cool resolve in it, was a warm balm to Shane’s anxiety.
“Yeah.” He looked back out over the neighborhood, swallowing the lump in his throat that felt Ilya-sized. It’d come back thicker when they were forced apart next week, a final goodbye as they began the seventh grade. Pushing the thought as far back in his mind as it would go, he forced a small smile. “But let’s stay up here for a bit longer, anyway.”OR: Shane and Ilya met when they were eleven, and figured it out eight years later.

Summary
They met at thirteen in a locker room that smelled like sweat and cheap detergent.
Shane thought he'd forget the loud Russian boy with the crooked smile.
He didn't.
Years later, they're drafted to the same team. Teammates. Strangers.
Except Shane still knows exactly where Ilya is on the ice without looking.
Some habits never die.
