NHL captain Shane Hollander lives for hockey and has built a spotless, disciplined image as the franchise face of the Montreal Voyageurs; Boston Bears star Ilya Rozanov is his opposite—loud, cocky, and infuriatingly charismatic. Publicly, they’re the league’s fiercest on‑ice rivals whose matchups fuel highlight reels and media narratives; privately, they fall into a years‑long pattern of secret hookups whenever their teams cross paths, unable to resist the chemistry they pretend to hate. As their connection deepens from lust to something neither planned for, the pressure of staying closeted in a hyper‑masculine sport, plus the need to preserve their carefully crafted brands, forces them to decide whether a real relationship is worth the risk of losing everything they’ve worked for.
