Summary
Scott doesn’t think he wants to be in some secret gay group chat with Hollander and Rozanov, but honestly, it would be kind of nice to speak to guys who got it, like really got it—the pressure to excel, the claustrophobia of locker room culture, the unending scrutiny of the press.
Or, Scott clocks Hollanov at the 2017 All-Stars Weekend, just like he did in 2011, and this time he tries reaching out to connect with Shane.

Summary
[From: K]
Start looks good from up here. Don't suck. Or you’re sleeping on the couch. Love you xThe air in Scott’s lungs, which had been trapped there since he woke up that morning, finally released. He could picture it perfectly: Kip sitting anonymously in Section 106, flanked by Elena and his dad, the three of them acting as a buffer against the world. They were the only family Scott had, the perfect camouflage for the one person Scott couldn't live without. Kip would be white-knuckling the armrests, pretending to be just another stressed fan, unable to tell a soul that his heart was currently lacing up skates in the basement.
Or:
The one where Scott and Kip met in St. Thomas Preparatory School back in 2004 and fell in love with each other. -

Summary
Pretty much the first thing Scott figured out about hockey is how much men who don’t play it love the high of it. Execs love to push the guys to skate harder, faster, get the adrenaline so high they can feel it from the box. Or, well, that was the first thing he figured out about hockey after he ended up in a billet in Albany after his parents died. His parents had taught him a hell of a lot before the car crash, but sometimes the thing he played as a kid feels like a different sport altogether.

Summary
Scott Hunter has sacrificed any hope of a personal life to be the best hockey player he can be. But, at 32, he still has no Cup to show for it, and he's so, so lonely.
(Or: Jacob Tierney and Francois Arnaud aged up Scott Hunter's character in a way I found very compelling, and I wondered what would happen if I aged up Kip as well.)

Bookmarker's Notes
Aged up skip! lovely characterization that really shows depth that comes with being older
Absolutely slaps
