Chapter Text
*Shane has created “Good Hockey Players”*
*Shane has added you*
Shane Hollander: Yee! Welcome everyone!
Eric Bennett: Oh, hi. Is this about Scott's initiavite?
Shane: Yes!
Scott Hunter: I imagined more of a... email chain.
Ilya Rozanov: That is beacause you are old.
Shane: Leave him alone, Rozy
Troy Barrett: NOT ANOTHER ONE SHANE STOP
Luca Haas: shane, ily, pls stop <3
Carter Vaughn: Why is everyone so against Hollander making groupchats?
Ilya: He makes too many, they say. He just wants to CHAT with people. That is what they are for. He likes to chat. LET HIM.
Ryan Price: Ilya, your “only I can be mean to him” mentality won't work for this.
Troy: Certain things are allowed to be emails<3
Scott: I'm sorry, how many would he have made, exactly? Like, this and the smaller of this that's just “NHL Pride Night Juice”?
Troy: Yep, those two, plus ahem ahem, remade the Centaurs gc, made a Centaurs + WAGs gc, Wyatt has told me about the “Camp Counsellors” gc for the GCC, and according to Harris a Cents WAGs + shane and ilya gc, and a gc with all queer hockey players' boyfriends and husbands called “NHL HABs”.
Hayden Pike: Don't forget the groupchat with LITERALLY JUST ME AND JJ, called “VoyTrio”
Shane: I WANT TO KEEP IN CONTACT T-T
Luca: you called it what now
Shane: Voyageurs + Trio... What's wrong?
Luca: ...don't look that up.
*a few minutes later*
Ilya: SHANE WHY THE FUCK DID YOU CALL YOUR GROUPCHAT THAT??
Shane: I didn't know???
Luca: You guys SERIOUSLY don't know about NHL RPF??
Shane: I knew vaguely about it???
Troy: I found out about it after the shit with Kent happened because apparently #Kerrett was very popular and everyone was writing apology statements for ever having shipped it or been involved with it. It was a little weird.
Luca: #KerrettIsDead #DallasKentIsOverParty. What a day on nhlrpftwt.
Eric: on what the fuck
Luca: it's okay grandpa
Zane Boodram: SHANE WE TOLD YOU TO STOP.
*“Monk's Girlies Table” groupchat*
Ilya: Shane made people mad again.
Lisa Hayes: What's new
Selena Chouinard: Yeah, me
Harris Drover: Publicly, do I need to draft an apology statement?
Shane: NO. people are just mad I like making groupchats :(((
Cassie Boodram: But you're so fun!
Shane: THANK YOU CASSIE
Caitlin Dykstra: I like talking with you.
Ilya: Thank you, everyone. See? It's just other players who are mean.
Lisa: They really can be.
Selena: Next home game you really should just hang with us at Monk's.
Shane: Honestly, I might just to be petty.
Cassie: Hell yeah! Red wine to share?
Shane: I'm trying to still limit alcohol, but... maybe, if we win.
Fiona Boyle: I confide you will boys
Harris: sticking to cider!
Ilya: I like the cider, Harris. Is good. Can you give me new case soon? We ran out :(
Fiona: Oh, yeah us too Harris!
Harris: yeah, yeah, I'll bring it!
*“NHL HABs” groupchat*
Kyle Swift: H A R R I S I need you.
Harris: Yes Kyle
Kyle: Can I order your sisters' cider through you?
Kip Grady: Last time you left us a case, and it sold like SO fast.
Harris: wtf is it today with everyone asking for cider. But, well, if you're ordering it for a business not really. But I can give you their numbers!
Kip: You are very much our favorite!
Fabian Salah: HEY
Kyle: omg after YOU Fabian God I still can't quite believe you're here.
Fabian: oh thank you darling. but I still wonder why I am kind of.
Shane: Kyle really wants to be, but it feels weird to have Kyle and not you. Because your reasons for being excluded would be the same.
Fabian: @Kyle so this is your fault.
Ilya: Oh, shut up Fabian. You like us!
Fabian: You all talk about hockey and goals and stick tricks and I DON'T CARE
Kip: HEY we also gossip.
Fabian: ABOUT HOCKEY PLAYERS
Harris: I mean, yeah, did you hear Baldwin, the Vancouver player, apparently got divorced??
Kip: Wait, what?! Sinche when?!
Fabian: And who's that
Shane: One of the bigger coming outs that happened after Scott's, he was never offered another contract again after. He came out, hard launched his relationship, and got married shortly after. LAST I HEARD???
Harris: Yup! I am quite close with Vancouver's social media manager, who's friends with Baldwin. Apparently, his husband cheated on him.
Kyle: YOU'RE KIDDING
Harris: Dead serious!!
Fabian: I admit, good goss. I have popcorn.
Kyle: Well, Lundin's model boyfriend is doing US campaigns again so either Lundin moved back as well, they're long distance, or they split up.
Kip: I'm sorry is the secret to a good queer nhl relationship the player being an All-Star?? Because wtf
Ilya: HEY! We do not know, maybe is just long distance, maybe he is back to America. But yeah, sucks for Baldwin.
Fabian: Only goss I have is Adrian Dela Cruz and Justin Green just broke up their engagement because Dela Cruz cheated.
Harris: Oh, that's who Baldwin's husband cheated with! I forgot. Which, like, weird, because it made Troy laugh a lot.
Shane: ???
Kyle: Wait why
Kip: what's funny?? T-T
Harris: Oh, yeah, y'all don't know. When Adrian Dela Cruz came out, he had only broke up with Troy after 2 years of secret relationship that November.
Fabian: WHAT THE FUCK
Ilya: Oh, yeah I knew that.
Kyle: I guess once a cheater, always a cheater.
Kip: It makes me sick, to be honest.
Harris: Shane, Ilya, isn't your plane about to take off, wait a second
Shane: oh yeah, bye everyone.
Ilya: KK, this road trip off day is in New York, we pass by Kingfisher night before, yes?
Kyle: Omg, please do!!
Kip: See you soon!! Safe travels boys!
