Llewellyn on returning to the Indy Fuel:
"I'm excited to be coming back with a group of guys that are ready to go to war for each other day after day. Duncan [Dalmao] started something special and to be a part of it means everything to me. Growing up watching my brother play for the Ice, it makes me feel like I'm playing at home. No better place to be than Indy!"
