Oh, Leno would die before his BC boys found out. Even the team knowing makes him extremely embarrassed, so he keeps that shit locked down tight, flushing and getting a little defensive when the Caps tease him about it.

Though, nothing can stay a secret in the NHL for long, and that trickles down to BC. So when he goes home for the Beanpot, he 1000% hears about it, even if it's just a "rumor".

I don't imagine the majority take it well because of the environment. It's a Catholic college in Boston; it's definitely not the most open minded place. Most of the team doesn't believe it, though, making quips and using slurs and laughing about it with Leno (who is trying not to burst and kill himself), saying that there's "no way he would ever do anything like that. Isn't that fucking stupid that anyone would come up with that?" Leno's like, "Haha man, I know, right? Fucking...stupid..." And also no one believes Alexander Ovechkin could be a fag, either, so. Leno wants to die.

The few teammates that Leno fucked around with look at him strangely. They don't really believe it but still ask how he could be that "fucking pathetic", and then they go home to their girlfriends and disappoint them. (They're insanely jealous.) Leno wants to blow up on them, reveal their hypocrisy, but it'd just out him, too, and he's honestly not any better.

He's still straight, himself, anyways, so it doesn't really matter. That's what he tells himself. He does it for his captain. It's the price he has to pay for being in the NHL. (He's not sure how he's going to last the entire offseason.)

The BC Line don't speak on it at all. Not only because they don't really talk a lot anymore, their groupchat dead during the season, but also because Will has no room to talk, and Gabe is too nice to say anything. But also, they knew. They know it's true, beyond a doubt. Instead, when they finally get together, they act like nothing's ever changed. The NHL doesn't exist, and they're still sharing rooms and rinks and a line. That's enough for them.
