Summary
Just a lil' bit o' joyous, un-angsty plot-what-plot smut because... these guys deserve nice things.
Fits at the end of The Incident timing-wise but really, you don't need to read any part of the series for this to work. Because there is no plot!!!

A Guide to the NHL/MLH: Everything But the Hockey by facingthenorthwind (spacegandalf), SiladhielLithvirax
Fandoms: Heated Rivalry (TV), Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid, Men's Hockey RPF
02 Apr 2026

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!

Heated Rivalry - But Make It a Procedural TV Show Universe by PrincessAmericaChavez
Fandom Game Changers Series - Rachel Reid, Game Changers | Heated Rivalry - All Media Types, Heated Rivalry (TV)

Summary
In which I put Hollanov into SituationsTM as if they were living in a procedural TV show land like Criminal Minds, The Rookie, Castle or Bones. Where, yes, hockey players attract a lot of trouble and then sort of end up solving crimes to save each other’s lives.
✨ Long live the power of looooooove and crazy shenanigans ✨

Summary
Hayden Pike will do anything for Shane Hollander, no questions asked. So when Shane calls him panicking in the middle of the night saying he needs help dealing with a body, Hayden throws on his coat and grabs a shovel like the good friend he is.
Or: A drunk Ilya passes out right outside Shane’s sex building, and Shane can't move his body.

Summary
So Shane Hollander is, how do you say in English, a dirty little thief. A clothing thief, to be precise. Ilya can't say he saw that coming, but he also can't pretend he's all that mad about it.
His shirt looks good on his Shane. On Shane. On Hollander.
Right. His shirt looks good on Hollander.
