Summary
"Most people know me as Shane Hollander, captain of the Montreal Metros and three-time Stanley Cup Champion. But this prolonged time away from the game has given me the opportunity to reflect on how I want people to know me. So, I decided to re-introduce myself.
My name is Shane, I was born and raised in Ottawa, I'm thirty-four years old, and I'm gay."
When Shane Hollander is placed on the long-term injured reserve after sustaining back to back concussions, he finds himself with too much time on his hands. Self-reflecting on his failed relationship with Ilya Rozanov and inspired by the overwhelming support for the growing number of out-players in professional sports, Shane decides to shed his skin and share his voice through a newfound outlet: his very own essay in The New York Times.
