    Summary

    In 2006, the Hollander family billeted a player to the Ottawa 67s - Ilya Rozanov, a 15 year old Russian Bostonian with a hockey talent to rival Shane's.
    Years later, they’d once again share a team, and a home: Boston College.

    “Why did you choose Boston? It’s not like you couldn’t have gone anywhere else.”
    Shane remembered his surprise at Ilya’s commitment. The college didn’t exactly fit Ilya’s predisposition.
    Ilya looked thoughtful for a second, underneath the tumult.
    “Other than the obvious? I don’t know. I think I just felt like this place was where I was meant to go.”
    Shane understood that.
    Ilya nudged him. "Now you. Why are you here, Canadian boy?”
    The corner of Shane’s lip raised, and he shrugged.
    “I wanted to be more than hockey. At least, for a little while longer.”
    Ilya’s eyes locked on him, and a small smile reset the lines of Ilya’s face. “You couldn’t have done that in Canada?”
    Shane laughed lightly. “Sure, but Canada didn’t have you.”
    Ilya looked down at the ground, and didn’t look back up as he spoke.
    “The NHL didn’t have you.”
