Twenty Years of the Ilya Rozanov Fight Compliation

Summary:

Dylan starts playing around with video editing software after taking (and dropping) a community college media class in 2011. He may as well use the new skills to make something, so he makes a hockey video. This leads to him becoming the ‘Ilya Rozanov Fight Compilation’ guy – it’s the start of an interesting two decades.

Or, the twenty years of Ilya Rozanov's MLH career as seen through the posts of one social media account.

Notes:

Me to myself after finishing my last social media fic which spanned a timeline of 3 months: wow social media fics are a lot of work with the formatting and the keeping usernames consistent and ensuring the like 100 different users ‘posting’ within the fic keep consistent character and so on and so on
Me to myself literally two hours later: next I’m going to write one that spans two decades

 

Okay so, this fic is inspired by and is a little bit of a love letter to all the hilarious moments in social media fics on here where some idiot is like “Ilya Rozanov can you fight?” and Ilya links them to a compilation of his fights.

 

This relies mostly on book canon but with a healthy dose of show canon where desired. I use MLH to refer to the NHL, WHL to refer to the PWHL and AHL to refer to AHL because I gave up by that point.

 

Also writing this has meant watching hours upon hours of hockey highlight videos across multiple platforms. My algorithm is so truly fucked up now.

 

RELEVANT WARNINGS: This story involves homophobic comments, sexist comments, comments excusing sexual assault and supporting an assaulter (Dallas Kent), and other general shit comments you might find in the comments of an account that enjoys hockey fights. The character who runs the account also spends some time being a little simple and unenlightened (get it together, Dylan). This vibe does recover but I want to give this warning upfront.

i never know what to post here lol but i learnt some video stuff in my college media course so i made this video of rozanov fighting ppl this season

[Link to YouTube video: The photo cover for the video is a picture taken from a Boston v New York game and shows Ilya Rozanov on the ice, having already dropped his gloves with a smirk on his face, challenging his opponent, New York’s Campbell, to take a swing. The picture has been stretched horizontally slightly to fit the dimensions of the video cover, and Rozanov and his hands are clearly oddly wide and distorted by this stretching. The title of the video is ‘Rozanov Fight Compilation’. The video is a compilation of every fight Rozanov has been in during the 2010-2011 MLH season, his rookie season.]
