Besides running a garbage company, Galante sponsored an auto race team and owned a minor league hockey team. I find that combination of activities curious.

How many Russians played on the hockey team, I wonder. Also, what incentive did Galante have to pay them above the salary cap imposed by the hockey league?

Keep an eye on this one.
