“Then, my congratulations to Belarusians — winners of the Calder Cup! During the season, Nikita Tolopilo and Danila Klimovich were essential members of the champion team. Hockey fans know how many players strive to get into the National Hockey League through the American Hockey League, so becoming a champion in such a rivalrous competition is a great career achievement for any player. Aliaksei Protas, Andrei Kostitsyn and Mikhail Grabovski have all lifted this trophy over their heads in their time. I want to wish the guys to follow the same path in the strongest league in the world, just like the Belarusians who have won the Calder Cup before. Belarusian people root for you and rejoice in your achievements,” Aliaksandr Bahdanovich said.
