Inside the Premiere Party for the Danbury Trashers Netflix Documentary
In 2004, a minor league hockey team was established in Danbury by Jimmy Galante, called the Danbury Trashers.
Galante had one of the biggest sanitation businesses in the country at that time, and had gained notoriety for his alleged ties to organized crime. His first order of business as the owner was to name his 17-year-old son AJ as Team President.
Galante was arrested in 2006 facing a wide variety of racketeering crimes. The case against Jimmy would also be a case against the Trashers. The team was done, but what happened in the middle was tailor made for the movies and that movie got made.
On August 31, 2021, the story of the Galantes and the Trashers "Untold: Crime & Penalties" debuted on Netflix.
