Summary
“This is the time to remember, ’cause it will not last forever. These are the days to hold onto, 'cause we won't, although we'll want to. This is the time, but time is gonna change. You've given me the best of you, and now I need the rest of you.”
The season ends with a Stanley Cup, a retirement announcement, and a future that suddenly feels wide open.
After seventeen years of hockey, Ilya Rozanov is learning how to slow down, something he’s never been particularly good at, while Shane Hollander discovers that balancing NHL captaincy with diapers, bottles, and a stubborn two-year-old might be the hardest job he’s ever had.
Between international adoption paperwork, a chaotic but devoted hockey family, and the quiet moments that matter more than they ever expected, Shane and Ilya begin building a life that has nothing to do with the ice, and everything to do with the one they’ve made together.
A story about leaving the game, finding home, and realizing that sometimes the most important victories happen long after the final buzzer.
