@montreal_voyagers_official✅
From his rookie season in 2009 to his 20221 season, Shane Hollander has played an important role on the Voyagers ice. However, Mr. Hollander will not be re-signing again for the upcoming season as both parties have come to conclusion that our values do not align any longer. We wish him luck for his future endeveours.

➤@shaneybaby
"our values do not allign any longer" translates to we are homophobic as fuck and cannot even TOLERATE a gay player in our team who by the way is our STAR player

EXACTLY! and they havent even taken action the player who talked shit about hollander to the media
➤@hockeypockey
seriously i would do anything to keep a guy who plays as good as Hollzy
➤ @hollzys_greensmoothie
and "important role" being doing EVERYTHING for this team! He has always been the first to step on ice and the last to get off. Staying on strict diets to give his all for the game, playing even through injuries! He gave everything to a team tat could not even aprreciate him. Glad he is out, ANY team would be glad to have him!
➤@ilove24withmylife__
Not even a thank you? for the guy who gave his ALL for the team. This is ridiculous. I HATE THIS TEAM.

➤@24_ismygoat_
exactly! just how dumb to you have to be to let go of THE shane hollander!! 90% of their total jersey sales were hollander jerseys in the last 6 years!
@hockeyfansreal_nohomophobeshere
OH HELL YESS WE ARE BOYCOTTING MONTREAL GAMES

Glad they kicked him out. If losing him means the team will not be distracted then this is great fucking move. Can't wait for next season!

He was not distracting anyone. It was homophobes like you, who could handle him being better and having a fucking cool ass boyfriend.
@shaneybaby
oh stfu and wave goodbye to that cup forever. you guys aint winning a single cup anymore lol
@holzyismygoat1234
Please keep waiting! Your season will be over even before you can close your eyes! :D

YES! i knew montreal would not tolerate. good job.

➤ @ilovehokceywithmylife
yup. i knew too. just bcuz new york did does not mean we have to do the same! letting them play only encourages them
➤ @scootsbananasocks_
I knew I should not bother with pieces of shit like you but still New York IS THRIVING without fans like you who cannot even tolerate poeple simply loving one another.
➤@hollanderistheloml
No one is encouraging anyone. They are fucking great players and will always remain one of the bests this ass league has ever had.
➤@montreal_icehockeyfans
Respect for Montreal just elevated! Keep this shit off the ice.

@shanehollander_hockey✅
For the last decade I have loved playing for the Voyagers. This city gave me so much love- I learned how to lead a team here, learned how to handle crowds, learned how to be the best player I could be, for the team. Seeing my number on the backs of so many of our fans gave me more happiness than I could imagine. I love playing hokcey here with my team- a team that I spent my blood, sweat and tears for. Leaving my team like this was never the part of my plan. I wished to see my jersey on the rafters and retire here but life has its way to turn everything over. This last year, I realized I could not play for this organisation anymore. I contemplated my decison over and over again. But eventually I had to choose what was best for me and my family.
I choose my peace and my identity over hockey for the first time ever. And I hope this will be the last time I will have to choose between the two.
Merci Montreal. Tu me manqueras toujours. Au revoir.

➤@shaneybaby
it isnt so easy to just leave. he is bound by contract + he has a whole family in montreal + not every team will be excited to have him, he is good player but not as good as holly.
@hollander_bemyhusabnd

Wyatt Hayes

Shane
It's fine.. They did not even know it was Ilya except Hayden.
They are just homophobic as fuck.
Harris
Im so sorry you had to go through that...
Shane
I am trying not to think about it too much. I am busy carving out my own sushine with Ilya.
Lapointe
this is tooth rottingly sweet

Evan Boodram

Shane
Not many. My parents, Rose, Svetlana, Marleau, Hayden and family. And you all.
Wyatt Hayes
Do u mean THE rose landryyy????
Lily<3

Shane
Stop pretending you hate her! You agreed to have wine night with her!
Lapointe
WHY DOES HE GET TO HAVE WINE WITH ROSE LANDRY
Lily<3

Wyatt Hayes

Zane Boodram
Okay??? We're more than fucking okay. We're fucking excited!!
Tanner Dillon
I don't understand how this works. But that's not my business. You both are great players and great people too.
Troy Barret
I mean clearly u guys never let your relationship get in the way of the game. We're elated to have you!
Wyatt Hayes

Lily<3

@ottawa_centures_official✅
Bood's BBQ Night with our team + SAPS!
Also, we had a new player join us today! Guess who it could be from the hints given by our players!
[video transcript]
[Harris] Everyone will give one hint to you guys to guess our new player .
He moves the camera towards the circle surrounding the drinks area. Four men are excitedly chatting with coca cola in their hands.
[Bergy] Me first! He is famous for his green smoothies!
[Luca] Umm I am next I guess? He has been invited to the all -stars every year since his draft!
[Lapointe] Lets see, he has done so much it is hard to pick one [pause] He was the captain of a Eastern Conference Team!
[Young] He is very flexible because he does yoga! I learned this today.
The camera shifts to a bigger circle now infront of the grill. the players pause as they see Harris approah
[Harris] You guys know the drill
[Boodram] Hm the player we are dedicating our night to is actually a 3 times stanley cup winner.
[Roznaov] Thats such a lame one. Everyone knows.
[Boodram] Am I supposed to invent facts now?
Someone yells "Shut up Ilya" from the background.
[Rozanov] I will excuse you all.
[Dykstra] This is the best advantage of having him on the team! The only man who can actually keep up with Rozy on and off ice.
[Harris] That's your hint?
[Dysktra] Yup, Fans know that's the best!
The camera shakes rather heavily. It turns around to reveal Troy Barrett.
[Harris] Oh my god! You scared the shit out of me!
[Troy] Ah, did not mean to scare you like that. [giggles] Okay, so my hint is that he is one of very few out gay players!
[Harris] That is a good one!
[Hayes] Mine is even better! He is one of the very few Asian players in the league.
[Troy] Okay definetly not better. But still good one. We need more representation in the league!
The camera moves slightly to show two men walking towards the camera.
[Nick] Oh this thing has already started.
[Dillon] I will go next! My hint is that he is actually from Ottawa. He is basically coming back home.
[Nick] Oh that was a nice one. How am I supposed to beat that one?
[Harris] You don't need to beat him, just give a good one!
[Nick] Lets see, He [pause] um, yes! He is said to have the best hockey IQ in the enitire league.
[Harris] That was good too.
The camera cuts and opens again in a setting lit by fairy lights. Rozanov sits on a chair infront of a table.
[Harris} So captain, what do you have to say about our new player?
[Rozanov] New player, da? It will not be my first time playing with him [winks] We are fire together, everyone be scared.
The camera moves to reveal Shane Hollander with his cheeks painted very pink, sitting beside Rozanov.
[Hollander] God, you're so embarassing.
[Harris] Drumrolls please! Here is our new plyaer! The Shane Hollander! Were you guys able to guess? [background laughter] So, Mr. New Player tell us a funfact about youself?
[Hollander] I did not know I was included in the game too. I did not think of anything.
[Rozanov] You don't know things about yourself, Hollander? [giggles]
[Hollander] Oh shut it, Rozanov. [pause] Your new team player is going to get married very soon and everyone here is invited.
Loud Cheers, chatters and laughter.
