    Summary

    What the hell is a "free agent" and why is Ilya Rozanov one at the end of Heated Rivalry? Would Cliff be suspended for that hit on Shane? How many times a season do Montreal and Boston play each other? How is the order of draft picks determined? How do hockey trades work?

    All this and more is answered in this guide to how the NHL (and thus maybe the MLH) works! This isn't about the rules of playing hockey, but instead the rules of the league itself. Even the boring bits can become great prompts for fic if you believe in yourself!

    If you're writing Hockey RPF, this guide makes sure to point out where the NHL and the fictional book series/show differs, so it still works as a simplified guide for that too!

    Summary

    “Sveta - ”

    “Ilya, there are photos. Of you. Ilya, you - you need to run.”

    “Photos?” he asks, a bit stupidly. He knows what she means. Of course he does. He’s had nightmares about what she means. But - well. No. Surely not.

    Right?

    “They’re old, I think,” she says, sniffling. “I just saw them on some gossip rag, but they’re - Ilya, they’re definitely you. With a man. They just got published on this stupid, shitty blog, but they’re going to get picked up the moment people wake up.”

    Well, at least Ilya has a shirt on. Now, he just needs to find pants before his life ends.

    Summary

    Cardiac tamponade: pressure on that heart that prevents it from filling and beating adequately.

    Shane thought he knew two things: his move to Ottawa would cause chaos, and that the Ottawa Centaurs were nice.

    As it turned out, he only knew one of those things.

    (Or: the Cens are still a team of professional hockey players. They're going to fuck up.)

    Summary

    “Name three lesbian artists.”

    “Artists? Like painters?”

    Anania chuckles. “Sure if you know any of those off the top of your head.”

    Shane looks at her with wide eyes.

    “Okay, I meant like, musicians, actors, entertainers.” Anania prompts him.

    “Oh,” Shane’s expression remains tinged with uncertainty. “Uh, do athletes count?”

    “No, I want to see if you know anything beyond sports.”

    “Okay, um…” Shane looks all around as if the answer might appear from around a tree. “Uh….”

    “Oh, honey.” Anania shook her head. “The bar is so low.”
    ~
    OR: Shane Hollander goes on Gaydar and is interviewed by Anania to see if she can guess if he’s gay, straight, or a homophobe. It goes about as badly as you’d expect.
