24 + 81 = ❤️@hollanovisreal
For everyone who’s not on insta, here’s the video Ilya Rozanov posted, announcing his engagement to Shane Hollander #hollanov #FirstHusbandsOfHockey
[video, 36 sec] Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander standing in a garden. Ilya has an arm around Shane’s shoulder and they are both bathed in the golden light of a slowly setting sun.
Ilya cheerfully says, “Hello! I am Ilya, and this is my boyfriend, Shane. Say hello, Shane.”
Shane looks a little awkward. “Um. Hi.”
Ilya nudges Shane. “Shane, when are we getting married?”
“July.”
Ilya makes an exaggerated surprised face. “July!”
Shane smiles brightly and a little goofy, and says, teasing, “Still can’t believe it, huh?”
Ilya grins proudly. “We are getting married. And then we are going to keep playing hockey, break more records, and win more cups. Yes, Shane?”
“Hell, yes.”
“See you in October, hockey fans.” Ilya kisses a still smiling Shane loudly on the cheek.
Saskatchewan truther@shilyaisreal
Still not sure they didn’t get married when Ilya moved to Canada, but I understand why they’d announce it like this.
evmagda81@magda81
I am dead, deceased. This is too much love in one video. I’m so happy for them 😭♥️🤩
joleeeen@futurehollanovdaughter
My fathers are getting married! I am no longer a child out of wedlock! #FirstHusbandsOfHockey
Al | shiniest tin crown@hollanovtrash
Daddies! Married daddies! I’m not sure I will survive this. Who will wear white cause we all know there’s no virgins in that household 😂
luc@puckrabbit
Wdym Ilya Rozanov is marrying his years-long rival turned lover and I can’t even get a second date??? Also I am crying. Why am I crying? I’m so happy for them! 😭♥️
mai@firsthusbandsofhockey
New username, new me, because they’re getting marriiiiiiiiiiied 🥰🥰🥰 #FirstHusbandsOfHockey
mildred@shanestiddies
shane looking so breedable in the wedding announcement, oh you know ilya will spend the entire honeymoon trying to knock him up!
Rozy can ice me anytime@81mebaby
how can one man look so hot announcing he’s marrying not me? but also, congratulations to shane for getting railed through the mattress for the rest of his life.
puckinggreat@alphadog
For fucks sake, there are no real men in hockey anymore.
|
Ben@rinkwriter
You do realize you’re talking about two of the greatest hockey players the world has ever seen? Clearly you don’t need to be straight to be talented. Also, stfu homophobe.
|
danny_o@admiralsadmirer
For real though. Have they all forgotten that Hunter won the cup?
|
Ben@rinkwriter
One day these “alpha” men will realize that an alpha version is full of bugs and should not be released to the public. Just fucking saying.
|
k@hollanova
You have more faith in their one shared brain cell than I do…
|
JayC@operagirl
It’s not shared, they are not orange cats. They are just really fucking stupid.
calvin@metrolife
First he lets him win the playoffs, now he marries him??? I don’t care that Rozanov is in Ottawa now, he was a Raider first. Never thought I’d see Hollander stoop this low #traitor
|
still in our dynasty era@metrotraveling
Hollander always seemed like such a good guy and Rozanov is such an ass… I could believe them hooking up in secret to scratch an itch, but this?
|
calvin@metrolife
PR stunt. Hollander knows his brand is trashed being with Rozanov, so now he’s trying to make it legit.
|
tony@hollanderer24
Shane Hollander is one of the most ethical players in this sport. There’s no way he threw a game and no way he’s marrying for PR. You’re all delusional.
|
calvin@metrolife
So you’re fine with him and Rozanov?
|
tony@hollanderer24
Yes. I was a fan of the rivalry and ofc I hated Boston, but once Shane started the Irina Foundation with Rozanov, I was on board. Which if anything is proof that they were always more than just hooking up.
|
calvin@metrolife
Fuck that. The friendship was fine for a good cause, but this is going too far. Hollander is a fucking traitor and if you can’t see that then you’re not a real metros fan.
|
tony@hollanderer24
I’m a Hollander fan. And honestly considering how everyone’s been treating Shane, I don’t mind not being a real metros fan
josh@81reasonstostan
So happy for Rozy, seriously. Also people thinking two top tier athletes are getting married for PR is really a new level of stupid. At least claim it’s for citizenship or something that makes a tiny bit of sense.
hockeymom@hockeymom24
I’m glad to see that this is a serious relationship and that Rozanov is apparently settling down. I hope they will be good role models now.
Hot hockey@themissionislife
Four years ago, we didn’t have any out players in the MLH. Now two of the biggest stars are getting married. What a time to be alive.
|
Gay For Hockey@sfgayhockey
So true bestie but when is it our turn?
|
Hot hockey@themissionislife
Seriously, we’re the gayest city but we have the straightest team 😭
still in my rozanov era@ponylovestheraiders
Last July Scott got to marry Kip #Skip and now we get #FirstHusbandsOfHockey? The queers just keep winning! #pride
Harris Drover@harrisottawa
Managing the social media for the Centaurs was such a dream come true. And then they signed Ilya. Seriously. A heads up would’ve been nice… But congratulations to the engaged couple ♥️💍
One Stop Hockey Shop@ManInTheCreasePod
Following Rozanov and Hollander’s engagement announcement, trade rumors are flaring up. Hollander has not re-signed with Montreal yet, could he be Ottawa-bound? #FirstHusbandsOfHockey #MLH #MontrealMetros #OttawaCens
|
That hockey dude@thathockeydudepod
What a load of bullshit. You’re just peddling gossip now.
|
Ben@rinkwriter
I haven’t heard anything concrete, but I wouldn’t discount it. Ottawa has some cap space left and they need depth at center. Roz moving to Ottawa showed they wanted to be close to each other, so the only other teams close to Ottawa for Hollander to move to are Toronto and Buffalo (1/2)
|
Ben@rinkwriter
Buffalo would have to do a lot of shuffling to afford Hollzy. With Kent gone, Toronto needs a new star center, so I can see them making an offer to Hollzy, which would also help clean up their reputation, but I doubt Hollzy would exchange one toxic environment for another (2/2)
|
long suffering cens fan@ottawaforlife
Is this what hope feels like?
Roz supremacy@ottawaaaaaaaaa
So… I really don’t want to jinx it but… how big do we think is the chance Hollander signs with Ottawa?
|
long suffering cens fan@ottawaforlife
Do not even speak those words out loud!
|
Roz supremacy@ottawaaaaaaaaa
I just knocked on every wooden surface! Threw salt over my shoulder and ran around the house three times to counter the jinx
|
Marty 🏒@centaursfan72
I’m going to join you. That would be a dream come true. @OttawaCentaurs
Beeatrice🐝@buzzing4cens
If Shane Hollander finally comes home, I’m gonna give everyone a 24 percent discount on the first jar of honey they buy from our stall #HazelsHoney
fay | in my hollanov era@rideordieacentaur
The way I just screamed, my roommate thought I saw a spider lol. Shane, baby, come home!!!
BayBoy@sfbayboy
Look I’m all for queer love conquering the world but I also do not want Hollander and Rozanov on the same team. Seriously double fuck the metros for being homophobes and for possibly cursing us with #hollanov on the same team.
|
Gay For Hockey@sfgayhockey
So true. There are two animals in my heart: wanting Hollander and Rozanov to stick it to all the homophobes and the Mission finally winning the cup again
|
Hot hockey@themissionislife
Okay how about Hollander and Rozanov stick it to the homophobes by winning the Eastern Conference and the Mission wins the cup?
|
Gay For Hockey@sfgayhockey
That I can live with
now suffering metros fan@allezlesmetro
The fact that Shane didn’t re-sign with Metros says a lot. Fucking hell, I was sure he’d be here forever and they’d raise his jersey up in the rafters!
|
tony@hollanderer24
You have no one to blame but yourself. You have been vicious to the man who brought you three fucking cups
|
now suffering metros fan@allezlesmetro
Yeah well he also tripped
|
tony@hollanderer24
During one fucking game. If the team had played better before, Ottawa wouldn’t even have made it to game seven. That loss was not on Hollander alone, it was the whole fucking team.
spencer🏒@pumasforlife
Do I want the #FirstHusbandsOfHockey to play together? Yes. Do I cry tears at the thought of MY team having to face them? Also yes.
Waiting for the Stanley Cup@ridingwiththecentaurs
Omg omg omg. We already have Rozanov. If we got Hollander as well we’d be unstoppable! I can smell the cup and it smells like victory!
|
It was rare I was there 🏒@taybemothering
Omg don’t play with me like that, the two of them together would be the dream. Also they deserve to finally be together in the same city! #areyoureadyforit
Saskatchewan truther@shilyaisreal
Omg can you guys imagine Hollanov on the same team together? The cute pregame posts. All the pictures we’d get! Them celebrating goals together! And all the sightings together in Ottawa doing cute couple-y things!
|
k@hollanova
They just got outed a few months ago, can we maybe take ten steps back and not demand even more private stuff?
|
mai@firsthusbandsofhockey
For real. We’re so blessed they decided to share anything at all after that FanMail leak #FuckYouBrad
|
k@hollanova
#FuckYouBrad
raiders_JD@raidingwiththeraiders
First Hollander makes Roz go to Ottawa for him, I guess if he also ends up there it’s fucking karma for making him leave Boston. They can lose together now.
|
josh@81reasonstostan
Yeah buddy, I don’t think that’s how it’s gonna go.
cens trash@tyler_h
So in theory Hollander would be a great addition and I’m happy for him and Rozanov but is two married guys on the same team a good idea? Like what if they fight or even worse break up?
|
k@hollanova
They’ve been dating in secret for years, risking their careers for each other, I don’t see them breaking up any time soon. And they just defied the league to go public.
|
cens trash@tyler_h
Yeah but you don’t know how their couple dynamic will affect their on ice dynamic. I think it’s a gamble
|
k@hollanova
I’m just gonna drop the link to the 2017 All-Star game. The only time we’ve ever seen them together and it’s probably some of the best hockey they ever played https://www.youtu…
|
Roz supremacy@ottawaaaaaaaaa
Also everything can affect on ice chemistry. Like the Metros basically icing Hollander out in the games after the fanmail leak. Or when the whole Barrett and Kent thing went down. Hockey players are all people and there’s never any guarantee.
|
cens trash@tyler_h
Fair enough. I guess it’s just hard being optimistic while being a fan of this team lol
|
Roz supremacy@ottawaaaaaaaaa
I feel that lol. But who knows, it might be a new era!
|
fay | in my hollanov era@rideordieacentaur
The hollanov era 🥰

long suffering cens fan@ottawaforlife
Don’t jinx it!!!!
MLH on ESPN ✅@espnmlh
Today starts MLH’s free agency. Here are all the speculations of who is going where. The biggest question mark? Metros Captain Shane Hollander who is an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his career. https://www.espn.com/ml….
|
Roz supremacy@ottawaaaaaaaaa
Prayer circle for Shane to come to Ottawa.
|
BayBoy@sfbayboy
I know you’d have to do long distance, but Shane you’d love San Francisco and we would love you!
|
24 metros for life@freckleappreciation
I am just super happy that Shane will get away from the fucking toxicity that is the fucking Metros. My baby deserves better.
|
Waiting for the Stanley Cup@ridingwiththecentaurs
Rozanov and Hollander? Fuck yeah that Cup is ours!
|
keep drillin 🏒@houston4life
I don’t care about any of that personal shit, I just want the best player in the league on our team
