The Danbury Trashers Are The Hottest Hockey Team On The Planet And Haven't Played A Game In 15 Years

[@jackdepue4755]

The biggest upset in sports history is that AJ turned out to be an awesome guy

[@jordanrossi4155]

Yeah he seems legit . I like that he’s humble in a way

[@Whatiscookingnow]

Before I watched the doc I rolled my eyes at this kid. After watching it, and now especially listening to this podcast, FUCKING LEGEND

[@JohnSmith-fd4wi]

AJ is that kid in high school who you think is a douchebag until u talk to him and realize he’s a pure beauty

[@currentlyacorpse]

This was one of the better episodes in a minute. What excellent guests.

[@donaldbrown9601]

Facts

[@emiledelage5055]

Aj seems like a really dope and humble dude

[@emiledelage5055]

@Kentay Johnson yeah exactly

[@bigkg8613]

Thinking the same thing the minute I saw that douchebag beard, but seemed like a decent dude

[@billnyethesciencedenier6701]

I'd like to chat with him over a plate of gabagool

[@KnowinSelf]

Legit every interview I've seen him on he has come across as a good dude

[@suezq57]

AJ needs a podcast. He is very genuine. I shared the documentary with my Italian family in Philly, and they were hooked too. Can’t wait for more.

[@areyouseriousdidyoujustdothat]

AJ needs to have a podcast.What a personality 😛

[@odin1311]

Wingfield was on pace for 28 goals and 700 pims in an 80 game season

[@wilseph1]

AJ Galante is an absolute legend. Box office. Love his style and delivery. Thank you for this interview!

[@rileymuise6328]

aj was a great interveiw great guy to listen too and i was not expecting it loved it

[@DonHorvathIII]

Chad Wagner definitely was not all there upstairs. His hockeydb page says he had 112 penalty minutes in 12 games...in a roller hockey league. Jesus.

[@Peezster]

Almost every year he averaged close to 10 penalty mintues....a game. He was nuts

[@freshstart349]

Kind of guy that makes hockey scary to play

[@11DNA11]

He had 521 pim in 43 games too :D Gotta love guys like that :D

[@baroman]

I think this might be one of my favorite episodes. Both interviews were so damn good. Galante and Winger were Awesome!

[@kenegilsson1362]

Best documentary ever! How A.J is not a gm in a league somewhere is baffling

[@Tommydeedz13]

Aj is nothing what I thought he would be, what a great guy, amazing show 10/10

[@pjpredhomme7699]

I agree - the first few minutes of the documentary I thought i was going to hate him - and it turned out he is very charming. You can't not like him if you give it a chance

[@alexanderbakker2906]

Congrats on the TNT deal biz

[@samsquanch5916]

I started that documentary HATING A.J. for all of the obvious reasons, and felt confused when I found myself genuinely liking him by the end of the movie.... And Im not confused anymore, A.J is cool shit. Great dude!

[@joshuawelch9701]

was pretty cool, i was in danbury this past weekend with my son who plays 8u hockey, seeing the arena and where all of this took place,

[@nearhoodr8477]

Yes for sure I could see why pops trusted him to run the team…….. Very smart cool ass dude!!!! Legends!!!! AJ props

[@yeffslayer818]

I watch this episode every couple months. winger and Aj were awesome guests. Having the fighters on the podcast are my favorite guests

[@mixremusic]

Both unreal guests. Could listen to their stories all day

[@dmcdmc]

AJ is actually a likeable guy

[@Gwarismetal]

Aj is the man, such a humble guy

[@sectortech12b8]

Fantastic hockey documentary, we were AA travel hockey parents for 11 years and this documentary brought back the physical contact we loved in pro hockey, kudos to GM and T BONE

[@dallasbishop7929]

I'm from New Zealand we don't have hockey here the closest I'd come to seeing a game was watching the movie GOON. that Netflix documentary and the awesome show and hard work from AJ and the team has me addicted to hockey now . Keep kicking ass AJ .

[@wilseph1]

I was the starting pitcher. Loved that answer!

[@jordanrossi4155]

After watching the doc 2x and the pod. He seems like a good kid. Can you imagine the pressure. Not only from his family background school and college. Man that’s a lot regardless of money

[@tyleroconnor1534]

this has been the best interview on chicklets in a loooong time. i only watch chicklets for the most part for these interviews. the hockey world is so wild and the best stories come from guys like wingfield

[@johnshinn9391]

Yo, I just watched the documentary and I knew immediately that I had to get more information. lol, this was awesome.

[@JoshThomasProd]

id do anything to relive that Kalamazoo Wings vs Dandbury Trashers rivalry back in 2006.

[@michaelcarey2614]

So surreal hearing all this stuff about the Trashers. I grew up probably 20-30 minutes from Danbury. A Trashers game was one of the first 'pro' hockey games I ever went to. Then I remember when they got shut down. Crazy stuff.

[@Eric-2720]

So many memories with Mirasty with the Syracuse Crunch. Absolute beast.

[@evilmotorsports5076]

Regarding the "who ratted?" question. Several years later Danbury has the Whalers, a Single A level team. An ex Trasher player was on the visiting team. Holy shit, one of the funniest / clean chirps I ever heard from Section 102 (paraphrasing): "Hey _____, I heard you were the one who ratted on Jimmy because he actually made you work on the back of the garbage truck."

[@JimmyGotDishes]

This episode is a masterpiece! Instant classic

[@DrivingWithStuart]

This is the greatest thing I’ve seen in hockey in years! I’d love to see the team back! I’d pay good money to go to one of those games.

[@AnxietyAdvertisement]

it would never be the same

[@Roman-oh7xc]

One of the best podcasts of the whole show

[@j.h9939]

Toughest kids are ALWAYS from Saskatchewan, i used to watch Stephen Peat vs Kris Mallette at the crushed can toe to toe unreal scraps,Mirasty also played for MJ hailing from Saskatchewan

Loved the documentary on Netflix and loved this boys👍

[@Aladeen123]

You have to invite both A.J and Winger to some Sandbagging Golf !!!!

[@michaelvalleau3172]

Aj and his crew gotta make a comeback and own another team such beutys they are

[@TheTracker12]

Best interview hands down! Winger the beaut!!!!

[@robertquinn334]

Great episode , great stories , greatest era of hockey , great game on earth !

[@mattyoung6474]

The best part is wingers portable grower in the back corner guys a Canadian legend now

[@aaronsimon7487]

Watching Brad Wingfield and Geoff Bumstead (The Bruise Brother) in Corpus Christi was unbelievable. Remember winger got kicked from a game and came out and signed autographs with broken knuckles. Guy would come out of locker room and drink beers with the fans

[@hellomynameisjv]

Thanks Winger!

[@whitenoise3335]

Great episode, guys. Thank you.

[@dmcdmc]

the boys about to make bank pushin out trashers merch through the barstool machine

[@bikesnboards91]

I love this. It's like VH1 behind the music, chiclets edition

[@evilmotorsports5076]

Danbury is Hockeytown USA. I say that as a former season ticket holder. That place was HELL for opposing players.

[@wilseph1]

Shoutout to Brad Wingfield!!!

[@tideride4183]

Lovin this shit!! AHL P Bruins season ticket 05 lockout. Thanks for the memories Colton Orr, et all.

[@Vandymeer23]

[@benjaminmatte5225]

You all getting honorary Canadian citizenship, damn good hockey guys

[@steveapken6803]

I live near St Louis and we had the Missouri River Otters, and they only played the Trashers once over their two seasons and it was here in Missouri. Only one fight, Wingfield went after and beat up Matt Suderman and did the heavyweight belt motion, it's like dude you fought Matt Suderman he's not really a fighter lol. Too bad the Trashers didn't come along a few years sooner, the River Otters had some great fighters. With Brosals office right there in St Charles Missouri, I dont think he wanted to schedule a gong show right there in the league headquarters backyard. The lockout year the Otters had a bunch of St Louis Blues players and I'm sure Brosal didn't want those guys having to play Danbury.

[@astronautman12]

I watched it today and immediately went to ebay. Game worn jerseys selling for $5k

[@julienllcooljjulienllcoolj353]

Excellent interview!!!!!!

They made wingfield seem like too much of a nice guy in the doc. I prefer this rougher tougher version lol

Man I didn’t want to like this guy. Pretty cool really. Way better than I would have done at his age.

He needs to be selling these jerseys. The ones you can find online are $400. He could $200 all day long.

Scrappy always used to fuck with me when I was there. Luke Sellars lived at my cousins house to.

im surprised brad wingfield is director of hockey in his home town. the guy is a goon through in through and clearly hasn't changed. hopefully they can get a better director of hockey operations otherwise there will be future brain injuries for kids in that program.
