HR headcannons that literally no one asked for
• Shane hasn’t read a book that didn’t have to do with hockey since high school (but he was actually a very good student).
• Ilya used to draw a lot when he was younger (he was very good) but he stopped after his mom died. He picks it back up some time after TLG.
• At some point in the future a stray cat wanders in their yard and imprints onto Shane immediately. It quickly becomes a very spoiled house cat that regularly sleeps in his lap.
• They celebrate their anniversary on the day the Pike kids married them.
• Ilya forces Shane to wear matching Halloween costumes every year.
• Shane spends weeks learning how to make Medovik so he can give Ilya a taste of home for his birthday.
• Ilya does not get hungover. He’s one of those people that can be downing shots at 3am and then be up for a run when the sun rises.
• Shane is the exact opposite. When he over does it he’ll be cradling a Gatorade like a lifeline and eating saltines until 3pm.
• Ilya was in a Dunkin commercial.
• Shane has a very meticulous way he tapes his stick and refuses to change it.
• Ilya loves running. Shane only does it to train.
• One day Ilya’s niece shows up at their door with nothing but a book bag and the clothes on her back. This leads to an argument and a late night call to Russia. She’s a Rozanova-Hollander by the end of the week.
• For all his trash talking on the ice Ilya actually very rarely gets into fights (he doesn’t want to lose precious time in the penalty box that could be spent scoring).
• No matter how good Shane’s Russian gets Ilya never stops calling him random words in Russian as pet names.
• Ilya starts keeping a journal but it’s all letters to his mom.
• Shane buys Ilya any and everything he wants. Ilya mentions a vodka he enjoyed back home and Shane is paying a ridiculous shipping fee to get it to Canada. He stares too long at cufflinks and Shane’s having the employee wrap them up immediately (Ilya loves it).
• The next time the Centaurs are in Boston Ilya makes all of them go down the cop slide. Harris records it and the video gets millions of views.
