Untold: Crimes & Penalties is a documentary film that narrates the story of an amateur ice hockey team, the Danbury Trashers, owned by Jimmy Galante, an alleged mobster from Danbury, Connecticut. The team was managed by his teenage son, A.J. Galante, who had a passion for hockey and a love for his father.
The Danbury Trashers quickly made a name for themselves in the North American Hockey League (NAHL) with their aggressive style of play and their talented team of players. They won the league championship in their first year and gained a huge fan following in the process.
However, everything changed when Jimmy Galante was arrested by the FBI in 2006 on charges of racketeering, extortion, and loan sharking. A.J. was left to run the team on his own and faced the possibility of losing everything his father had built.
The documentary explores the tension between A.J.'s loyalty to his father and his desire to save the team, as well as the team's continued success in the face of adversity. It is a fascinating look at a unique and unexpected story of family, sports, and organized crime.
