Ottawa Centaurs Hockey ✅ @ottawacentaursmhl
Rounding off the season with our annual Paint the Ice event. See you in September, Centaurs Family! 🏒🐎❄️🎨
[Over 20 pictures are attached. 1: The whole team out at center ice. Everyone’s wearing their jerseys and smiling widely. 2: Coach Wiebe and former Captain Ilya Rozanov talking by the boards. Coach Wiebe looks fondly exasperated as Rozanov gestures wildly. Rozanov’s back is to the camera, showing that he’s wearing a fleece with his husband and current Captain Shane Hollander’s name and #24 on the back. 3: Michael Boyle crouched on the ice next to his twins. They seem to be having a very in-depth discussion about the twins’ drawings. 4: Hollander mid-motion as he skates laps with his and Rozanov’s daughter in his arms. They are grinning at each other with almost identical expressions of glee. 5…]

MHL Gossip Collective 📢 @mhlgossipcollective
While Drover and Barrett are keeping quiet about the identity of the #mysteriouscensbaby, we’ve done some digging of our own. Rumor has it the baby might be a second #hollanov child. Their first daughter was carried by @caitlindykstra back in 2025. We’ve gone through our archives and found this picture of Dykstra’s last public outing attending one of her husband’s games in December almost six months ago. Baby bump or big lunch?
[A picture of Caitlin Dykstra and some of the other partners and spouses up in the family suite. They’re cheering and laughing. Caitlin Dykstra is wearing a baggy hoodie that clearly belongs to her husband. It is impossible to make out the shape of her body.]

so i know absolutely fuck all about hockey, but my niece is like obsessed and she’s been going to that hockey school thing those two famous gay hockey dudes do every summer. i’ve been picking her up all week and all everyone’s talking about is some mysterious centaur (????) baby and since my friends keep bullying me about info as well, here’s all i know. didn’t see any mythical creatures so far, but there was a baby today.
#hockey #ihavenoideawhatsgoingon #lol
[A short video taken inside a rink. It starts by panning over the ice, showing a good two dozen kids around primary school age having fun. There doesn’t seem to be an active game in progress anymore. Several kids have already shed their helmets and gloves, some are laughing and talking to each other, and some are making their way over to the waiting adults. Ilya Rozanov can be seen talking to some of the parents and guardians. In the middle of the ice, Shane Hollander is calling out instructions on where and how to properly store the equipment. Closer to a door labeled STAFF, Ryan Price is deeply focused on the baby he’s holding, smiling almost shyly as he bounces it gently. The video ends when a girl around 7 or 8 comes barrelling towards whoever’s filming while yelling excitedly.]
censsuperiority: its fucking wild to me that someone who knows nothing about the cens has just accidentally dropped the juiciest piece of lore in weeks lmfao
KatieMiller: okay but was troy there? i’m not giving up on my troy/harris baby dreams!!!
EliasJackson: According to the official website, coaches this week are Hollander, Rozanov, Max Riley, Leah Campbell, Ryan Price, Troy Barrett, Cliff Marlow and Hayden Pike.
KatieMiller: you are my hero EliasJackson
MattDavies: Most of these men should never be around children. Absolutely disgraceful.

Ilya Hollander-Rozanov ✅ @officialilyarozanov
barrett could never make a baby this cute, clearly is only possible with superior hollander and rozanov genes 😏 daddy and papa love you inessa 🩷
[The attached picture shows Shane Hollander obviously about to doze off. He’s lying on his side in bed, bare chested, the covers pulled up to barely above his butt. His eyes are mostly shut, his hair is an absolute mess, and his mouth hangs half open. He’s got one arm outstretched to reach a hand into the crib next to the bed. It covers most of baby Inessa’s chest. Inessa is asleep, but still has one tiny hand curled around Hollander’s thumb.]
↪ Cliff Marlow ✅ @cliffmarlowofficial
Congrats, Roz. And you know I love you, brother, but if your husband kills you for this, I’ll help him bury the body. 😂

Ilya Hollander-Rozanov ✅ @officialilyarozanov

[A picture taken in a hospital room. Harris Drover and Troy Barrett are squished together on a too small couch. Drover’s eyes are damp and crinkled fondly as he looks down at the swaddled baby in Barrett’s arms. Barrett is wide-eyed as he sits stiffly and stares down at Inessa Hollander-Rozanov in what looks like absolute terror.]

It seems that while fans were excited for another deep run, @ottawacentaursmhl Captain @officialshanehollander had other priorities. Read all about how having a baby right before the playoffs affected team performance and led to a disappointing first round loss [here].

Playing while closeted is much more draining and distracting than having and raising children could ever possibly be. Trust me, I’d know.
Family Planning in Professional Sports: Does the MHL Code of Conduct Need Adjustment?
by Hank McIntyre for MHL Hockey Watch
Hockey has always been about community and cohesion, which is something Ottawa Centaurs Captain Shane Hollander seems to have forgotten recently. The Centaurs' early ejection from the playoffs after their Cup win two years ago—the first one in franchise history—has left a sour taste in many fans’ mouths, and we’re all asking ourselves the same question: was Hollander too distracted by his unfortunate private choices to take over the mantle as Captain and lead his team to victory?
And, more importantly, should there be official rules put in place about players’ managing their family business while also fulfilling their obligations to their teams? [read more]

Instead of reading the article that shall not be shared, everyone come look at my boyfriend being adorable around kids. I owe you one for this, @officialilyarozanov. 😘
[A photo of Ryan Price sitting in a booth in a diner, holding Inessa Hollander-Rozanov in the crook of one arm. Marika Hollander-Rozanov is standing on his leg, supported by Price’s hand on her back, as she regales Price with a story that involves her holding a piece of sausage above her head. Price seems to be listening intently. Next to him, Fabian Salah is staring directly into the camera, eyebrows raised in an obvious ‘holy shit, are you seeing this?’ manner.]

Luca Haas ✅ @lucahaashockeyplayer
I will not share the article we all know this is about, since it does not deserve a platform. But I will also not stand by quietly while my friend is being bombarded with disrespectful lies. @officialshanehollander is one of the most dedicated, fair and committed people I know, and he has been a fantastic captain for us ever since he was given the title two seasons ago. (1/3)
Luca Haas ✅ @lucahaashockeyplayer
The MHL roster consists of 32 teams, and every year, 31 of them do not win the cup. A majority of those 31 teams have heterosexual captains. None of them have had their privacy invaded by ignorant questions about their families and children. The homophobia is obvious to all of us, and we will not stand for it. (2/3)
Luca Haas ✅ @lucahaashockeyplayer
And if people would actually bother to follow our team and watch our games, they would know that we have had a series of very unfortunate injuries leading into the playoffs. We were not at our best, and that is why we did not advance further. Not even the best player of a generation is able to carry a team to victory by himself. End of story. (3/3)

The irony of Shane keeping quiet about his kids presumably so he can’t be accused of taking focus away from the playoffs only for some random wannabe journalist to claim exactly that. Leave our boys alone. 😭😭😭
↪ hockeyboii @hockeyboii
a narrative so offensive, centuries of swiss neutrality just went down the fucking drain
↪ Luca Haas ✅ @lucahaashockeyplayer
@hockeyboii: Neutrality in armed conflicts of other nations is a policy our government imposed on itself in order to ensure security and promote peace. This is not an armed conflict and I am not part of the government. I am simply a man stepping up to defend someone I care about deeply.

Okay, now that the cat’s out of the bag, I can finally share this. And yes, I asked for permission (then and again now), unlike some of you.
[A short video and a picture are attached. The video was clearly started accidentally.
Kleinmann: Oh, shit, sorry, I’m filming. Just gimme a sec to—
Ilya Rozanov: It’s fine, it’s fine. You want me to say hello to someone?
Kleinmann: Would you? Man, thanks, that would be awesome. Could you say something real quick for my boys? Carter and Cayden, they’re five and six, they love hockey.
Rozanov: Hello, Carter and Cayden. Your dad will give me your address and I will send you lots of cool Centaurs things, okay?
Kleinmann, flustered: Oh, no, you don’t have to do that—
Rozanov, winking at the camera: Already promised, can’t take back now.
Both laugh.
In the picture, Rozanov is standing behind a full shopping cart. Marika Hollander-Rozanov is sitting in the cart, turned around to grin and mug at the camera. Rozanov is holding up a toddler-sized shirt with the tag still on that says BIG SISTER in pink cursive on the front with one hand, and has a finger of the other one pressed to his lips in a ‘sssssh’ gesture.]

Inessa Hollander-Rozanov is lying across her lap, her head carefully supported by yet another pillow.
