No Heated Rivalry puzzle would be complete without the men at the center of the storm. You’ll be hunting for Shane Hollander, the golden boy of the Montreal Voyageurs, and Ilya Rozanov, the chaotic, talented captain of the Boston Bears. But it’s not just about the captains! I’ve tucked in names of other characters who know exactly what’s happening behind closed locker room doors.
