“It’s going to be awesome in Minsk. It’s been a while since we’ve seen our fans. A lot has happened since our last home game. It’ll be fantastic to be back on our home ice, to feed off the crowd’s energy. We’re going to do our best to get back to winning ways,” Minsk Bisons forward Alex Limoges said.
