HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) -- The Danbury Trashers marketed themselves as a team in a rough-and-tumble minor league that would play dirty to win.
Prosecutors say they also broke federal law.
The team, owner James Galante and former coach J. Todd Stirling were accused Friday of defrauding the United Hockey League, violating its salary cap by giving some players and their wives no-show jobs with Galante's trash-hauling companies.
They are also accused of hiding improper payments as "housing allowances."
