Summary
"I don't mean to come here and freak you out," Scott said, though he knew there was no avoiding it. He'd been where they were before. It had felt like he was dying, back then. "I just don't want you to think you're the only ones, okay? There's lots of us."
Their eyes snapped to him in unison, startled and intense. Hollander croaked, "What?"
"There's over sixteen hundred guys in the MLH and AHL," he reminded them, because it had felt improbable to him when he first heard until he remembered the sheer size of the hockey world. "There's — well, we don't know how many of us there are, but there's at least seventeen of us that know each other. Plus you two. We watch out for each other."
His eyes enormous, Hollander asked, "There's, what? A secret underground gay hockey network?"
Scott shrugged. "Yeah, basically."
----
Ilya and Shane find their way into The Tennis Club, a network of closeted hockey players that hook up - so long as everyone keeps it casual. Which is no problem! They can do casual, right?

Summary
Nick and Selena are the first to fall victim to the retirement curse. Six months after Chewy hangs up on his skates, he shows up to the weekly Old Fucks Monks Meetup with a hangdog expression. “She filed yesterday,” he tells them.
Shane is appropriately sympathetic in the group, jumping up to grab another round whenever Chewy’s bottle gets low, making vague but good-sounding noises whenever Chewy says something depressing, but Ilya knows that gleam in his eyes.
"Out with it," Ilya says, once they're safely ensconced in the dark interior of Shane's car.
“I can’t believe they’re giving in,” Shane says, a touch of glee in his voice.
-
Or: near the end of Shane and Ilya's careers, an epidemic of divorces sweeps the Centaurs.

Summary
“This hot tub has not been well maintained,” Rozanov complained as they stood on the deck, staring at the built-in hot tub, big enough to fit 8 people.
“So, you can replace it,” Shane replied patiently.
“I will be too busy to replace the hot tub. Then I will have a long day, and I will decide to have a soak in my rancid hot tub, and then I will catch diphtheria and die.” Rozanov looked at Shane, accusatory. “You want me to die?”
Shane looked down. The hot tub looked no more or less rancid than any other hot tub. “I don’t think you can get diphtheria from a dirty hot tub.”
“You are doctor now?” Rozanov asked, and Shane stayed silent.
Shane Hollander is a realtor who works with the Ottawa Centaurs to find properties for new players.
Ilya Rozanov needs a home.
