For years, the world knew Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov as hockey's fiercest rivals turned secret lovers. Now retired from professional hockey, they're known for something much quieter: being the dads who are somehow always running late to school drop-off. Married for over a decade, Shane and Ilya have built a peaceful life in Montreal with their two children. Their oldest, Sophie (20), inherited Shane's patience, organization, and quiet determination—but unfortunately also Ilya's stubborn streak. She loves figure skating at a collegiate level (Yale) and has mastered the art of convincing one parent to say yes before asking the other. Their youngest, James (17), is a whirlwind of energy, always scatterbrained, climbs everything he can reach, and dreams of playing in the NHL. Life isn't dramatic anymore. Instead, it's filled with the little moments that make a family: Saturday mornings spent making pancakes while Ilya insists recipes are "just suggestions," much to Shane's horror. School concerts where Shane cries every single time and Ilya pretends he has something in his eye. Endless negotiations over bedtime, vegetables, screen time, and whether the dog is allowed to sleep on the couch. Family road trips where everyone sings loudly to old playlists, and no one can agree on directions. Backyard hockey games that inevitably dissolve into snowball fights, laughter, and someone ending up soaked. Their marriage is just as competitive as ever—but now the arguments are over who forgot to pack lunches, whose turn it is to help with math homework, or which parent is secretly spoiling the kids with extra dessert. Friends from their hockey days drift in and out of their lives, becoming honorary uncles who stop by for cookouts, birthday parties, or impromptu games in the driveway.
