Danbury Trashers

Who Were the "Bad Boys of Hockey"?

Danbury Trashers 2004–2006 — the two-season team that became hockey legend — photo 1 of 10
2004: a Connecticut garbage magnate bought a UHL expansion franchise for Danbury — launched April 1st, everyone thought it was a joke — photo 2 of 10
He handed hockey operations to his son — A.J. Galante was 17 years old — photo 3 of 10
A.J. was a wrestling fan and that became the team's DNA — heroes and villains, the Bad Boys — photo 4 of 10
The slogan: Bad Boys Talkin' Trash. Entrance music: Welcome to the Jungle. First season: 2,776 penalty minutes — a UHL record — photo 6 of 10
And they were actually good — Brent Gretzky, Jim Duhart, Stanley Cup winner Mike Rupp — photo 7 of 10
Section 102: in a triple-overtime playoff game the Trashers ran out of dry undershirts, so the fans gave them their own — Danbury won 3–2 — photo 8 of 10
June 2006: a federal investigation ended the most unhinged team in hockey history — A.J. was never charged — photo 9 of 10
Two seasons, one Colonial Cup finals — twenty years later, Danbury still hasn't let go. Keep repping the Bad Boys — photo 10 of 10
