Summary
Troy gets to have a happy ending. A celebration to finally be himself after all of those difficult years being a douche bag to other players. A celebration to freedom of loving his boyfriend openly, even if he mocked and called Shane a fag more time than he could remember.
And the fact that he now has to deal with a new, 'changed and pure' Troy Barrett feels like another type of insult that he could never address.

Summary
Something in Shane’s chest ignites. Fast. Hot. A balloon of burning pressure inflating behind his ribs. For a moment, Shane actually sees red.
“Don’t worry,” Shane hears himself say, easy, almost pleasant. “It’s chicken. Not dog.”

Summary
Shane got told a lot to go back home; “Go back to your country” was a normal chirp for him. He thought it was a stupid comment, because home was Ottawa for him. Unfortunately, everyone else thought differently and waved him off to some generic Asian country instead.
A series of short episodes of Shane, Yuna, racism, and microaggressions.

Summary
Shane can’t look at him. He can’t really look at anyone but he manages to lift his head and stare right back into Troy’s glistening eyes.
“I never had that advantage, Troy. I never got to take it out on anyone, for any of it. All the times I got on that ice to play some hockey and some… fuckwit idiot like Kent, or whoever was calling me slurs— whether they were gay ones or racist ones… I couldn’t just hurl them back and call it a day like you did.”
He swallows hard. He thinks he might be sick a little bit in his mouth.
“You know how fucking lucky you are? To have gotten away with it? They love you, Barrett. This team loves you! You’re fucking celebrated because you overcame this big, terrible thing but for me it’s—”
He thinks about his mom in that very split second. His beautiful, wonderful mom who’d coached him his entire life on how to be polite, how to be well behaved. How to answer to teachers the right way, to coaches, to cops to the press to the general public to his fucking teammates—
He looks away. The fight suddenly drains right out of him and he goes back to his bag.
