I too struggle with non hockey player Shane because it’s just such a big part of who he is, but I think I have a couple of ones I enjoyed that are non hockey aus (don’t mind some descriptions are a little less detailed, some I read quite a while ago)

Hopefully you enjoy some of these ;D
Context: I made this post about how non-hockey player Shane Hollander feels a little strange in fics, but recs are always welcome
Anon I want to give you a kiss on the forehead (muah)!!!(or an appreciative high five if that is not your vibe) (*^▽^*)
Thank you for the fic recs!!!
I absolutely adore the word count jump from 7k to 191k, GLORIOUS!!!
Also relationship reveal my absolute beloved!!! I love reading all the different way people write the relationship reveals and the reactions!!! I have been spawn camping the Hollanov relationship reveal and coming out fics. I haven’t seen these before, YESSSS!!!
P.s. I have only been able to read the WAG Shane one so far (“Where is My Husband!” By shaneviews) and oh misunderstanding how I love thee when you don’t cause any actual consequences (just a bunch of classmates coming to the wrong conclusions). I love the drama of a very public and silly reveal!! Also there is more fics in the verse which I will be enjoying :)
Thank you again anon!!! ♥️
