    Summary

    “Do you remember Andropov?” Svetlana asked. “He was a coach at the skating camp we attended as kids.”

    Svetlana and Ilya had practically grown up together on the ice, him with a hockey stick in his hands and her learning how to spin.

    “Yes, I remember him”, Ilya confirmed. “He left Russia a long time ago, though, didn’t he?”

    “Yes, he went to the US and then Canada”, Svetlana revealed. “He is here in Sochi, though, coaching Shane Hollander…”

    “The pretty boy who did the short program for Canada?” The hockey player interrupted.

     

    Or: Figure skater Shane Hollander meets hockey player Ilya Rozanov and sparks start crackling on the ice.

    Summary

    Cliff knew that this probably violated the promise he made to Roz when he had given him a spare key. It was for emergencies only. He hoped he kept his key privileges after tonight.

    Because throwing a surprise pizza/movie night in Roz’s own home for when he returned to Boston from his father’s funeral in Russia? That probably didn’t count as an emergency.

    But fuck it. Roz was his best friend, and while his father may have sucked, it’s still awful losing a parent. Roz should have his friends here, waiting to support him when he gets back.

    The only thing that could make this better was if Cliff knew who Jane was, so she could be here for him too.

    Summary

    Ilya has been used to it for years, living in constant comparison with Shane. Ilya is frequently praised for his aggressive play style, tearing out onto the ice like a rabid animal and winning through brute force. He’s a loose cannon out on the rink, that’s why Boston loves him so much. Shane’s image in the media is much different. He doesn’t fight, he doesn’t speak badly about other teams, he’s calm and calculated. Ilya is not.

    Ilya Rozanov is famous for his 'don't give a fuck' attitude. You don't win Stanley Cups if you don't give a fuck.
    5 times people get to see another side of Ilya, and 1 time they get to see another side of Shane too.

    Summary

    Several years into Rozanov’s career, ESPN hires a reporter fluent in Russian.

    Suddenly able to answer questions fluently and with a wide vocabulary, Rozanov’s interviews go viral. Hockey fans around the world get a new look at what they thought about Boston’s #81. This changes not only his public persona, but his whole life.

    Inspired by the look on NBA star Nikola Jokić’s face when he was asked a question in his native Serbian and my own struggles learning a new language.
