Sit Down With Danbury Trashers Boss Jimmy Galante

[@KarenRomandi]

What a trip down memory lane!! Started on White St in 1993, still there. Thanks to Jimmy I have had an amazing career. And many memories…

[@jamiemarchand7367]

I can’t wait to get to the level of chill that Jimmy is.

[@ORF0106]

Jimmy was the most genuine boss that became a quick friend. Extremely proud to be able to call him that! Mystique

[@k.s.7104]

Had to throw another comment in here. What I love about this episode is that this reinforces what the Netflix Doc did, and that is the incredible father and son bond between AJ and Jimmy. The bond they shared through the good times, and bonds during the low times. If I had to guess those bonds grew even tighter during the rough years. Incredible relationship, and all AJ has been able to accomplish has to make Jimmy proud 👏. The bonds of a good family are stronger then anyone thinks.

Fort Wayne Komets are loving Amsebury ❤️ He had the fans & team fired up within minutes of the start of the game🏒

He’s legit doing nothing for the team.

@@Slinkysocks-zo7dbreally? Could you explain more? I’ve been curious about what the league and his own team thinks of him and his antics and clearly you know the inside scoop.

[@greghernquist3694]

Watched the documentary and was amazed. The way A.J. built the team, marketed and led them as a teenager is amazing. As a hockey fan since my hometown Blackhawks made it to the finals in 92, I love the brutal hockey of this era. Also grew up watching wrestling, favorite of all time was Razor Ramone aka The Bad Guy. The beauty of blending the two together... I tip my hat to you AJ. Respect.

[@dbtrashers]

Thank you Greg! We appreciate your support!! In the words of the great Scott HALL 'Bad Times Dont last ' But Bad Guys Do!'

[@sjm98126]

Aj, it's cool to see you onKZbin, i used to work at AWD in the mechanic shop and the weld shop over at p&g, they used to call me tuna.. I used too see you in the scale house all the time.. I liked that job, I was real upset when I got laid off lol. But all good things must end and we move on.. but I was glad I got the experience. It was never a dull moment there. I appreciate your old man keeping me around becuase when I first started as the shop helper I was just about useless but by the time I left I was a real tradesman. Dennis took me under his wing and taught me how to weld. and I built my career essentially off what I learned working at awd. I never got to meet your dad in person, but I heard all the stories, it's cool to hear you guys this kind of more personal format. Brings back some memories. Best of luck to you guys!

[@JordanBeveridge21]

I got to reconnect with Garrett after 12 years And helped him move from LV to Minnesota about 10 months before he passed. He hadn’t changed at all haha. We went to this bar called Jing after and had one of the best nights I’ve had out ever lol. Rip GB55

[@westie420uk]

So I was looking through Netflix last night looking for something to watch and I came the Trashers Crime and Penalties documentary so I thought i would give it a go for 5 mins. I ended up watching the whole thing and I'm now looking through KZbin for Trasher videos. I'm from England where we don't have a massive ice hockey culture, though my City has a pro team called the Leeds Knights. The Trashers looks like exactly the type of team I would of supported, hard, no nonsense players who had each others backs 1000%, owners and managers who would do anything for said platers and the team and a loyal and proud fan base. Jimmy is also the type of dad and boy would want as a father and AJ was the type of kid any father would be proud to have as a son. Go Trashers!

[@dbtrashers]

Thank you so much for the support!!!

I Met Jimmy at his office in the oil company 🚒. Good Guy 👍💯!!!!

[@keegbcfc7147]

Man I been so excited for this one! Lets goooooo

[@ColonialUnited]

Richmond Riverdogs fan here. Few years younger than AJ and had no idea a lot of this was going on so it's cool learning about it now

[@dbtrashers]

The Riverdogs were always a fun matchup! They had some tough guys !

[@jasonj.hayward6884]

You guys are amazing. Loved the doc and just found the podcast. The talk of family and loyalty and the genuine respect for team being family is something that really hit home for me. Jimmy's comment about keyboard warriors is totally on point. Love you guys and will be tuning in regularly!

[@dbtrashers]

Thanks for the support brother!!!

Great episode AJ!! It’s nostalgia on overload for me.

[@xavierjames8085]

He’s 71?! Wow ! God bless him! Shouts out to the trashers !!! CT stand up !!! 💯💯 Wen I think goalie I think Henrik Lundqvist one of the best to ever do it ! N shout out my guy Jonathan quick from CT as well !!

[@GeraldGruenigMedia1]

Just said the same thing. He still looks 50. Hopefully this isn't the last time we see him on the pod.

[@xavierjames8085]

@@GeraldGruenigMedia1Yoo fr ! I thought he was going to be like yea he jus turned 50 or something lol , if you look that young at that age that means you did what you loved to do for work cus the stress nowadays is real lol

[@kingdombuilder368]

growing up in maine… the AHL team (portland pirates) had such an impact of the city up until being sold to Springfield in 2016…… the trashers story feels like home to me…. unless u grew up with minor league hockey you dont really know how special a team can be for a city

[@ink3d_ff]

Been loving the podcast, boys! Showing some love from Providence

[@cleanup8984]

I loved that documentary..ive watched it 10x they should make a movie based on your life..

[@sweater_vest_optional5410]

Believe the Burnett vs. Parker rivalry started after Burnett suckered Troy Crowder in a Kentucky Thoroughblades vs Hershey Bears game. Burnett was escorted off the ice before Parker could get to him. Poor Christian Gosselin took an awful lot of punishment during the bench clearer that ensued. Parker and Burnett fought at least 3x a game multiple times in both the AHL and NHL after that. Also, love the Bruce Richardson shoutout!!! Another Bears legend!! Great Podcast!!!!

[@acerock013]

that was a fascinating conversation. cool to learn more and more context beyond the Netflix Doc. I've only known AJ a short time but the guy you see here is exactly who you'd meet in the barber shop or at the gym. I can see where he gets it from ;)

We need AJ and Jimmy to come to a game in Fort Wayne to watch Diamond Hands. That would be freaking awesome.

[@danofort]

Mr. Galante is such a class act. PLEASE do an episode with Frankie the Animal. The man is gold. Also, Chad Wagner, Nasty and Rumun Ndur would be great. Did you guys ever consider getting kevin Evans on the show? That would be amazing.

Great episode, but Jimmy and AJ never let anyone down lol because I always thought of these guys reaching out to the LNAH lol....That's right up their alley Danbury would eat it up. If the FPHL is doing everything to compromise what the fans of Danbury love I couldn't think of any way better to pursue an LNAH team and no better people to get it done then the Galante family 👍.

I can remember standing on the ice in warmups. He didn’t say anything, but I could feel Jimmy looking at me standing in front of the scorer’s box. I looked up and there he was. He had a halo from the light behind him. I remember the night of “the fight” as blur, but I’ll always remember your pop staring down.
