Danbury Trashers

(

• ... that the United Hockey League's Danbury Trashers disbanded after their owner was arrested for Racketeering?

• Reviewed: Mickey MacKay

• ALT1 ... that the United Hockey League's Danbury Trashers disbanded due to financial concerns after their owner was charged with wire fraud for circumventing the league's salary cap?

• Comment: not sure how much the actual reason for the team's disbandment is needed for the hook but I think it makes it more interesting without adding it. It can be added or subtracted in either hook to increase the interest or clarification of the incidents being separate.

• ALT2 ... that after they were founded the Danbury Trashers of the United Hockey League had a 17 year old high school student for a General Manager?

• I like the original hook as it is more "hook-y" and the team did disband after the charges brought on their owner, so no problems with the wording. The hook is cited correctly as are other contentious issues on the article. The article has been expanded well above the x5 level and the date is good. Images on the page also appear fine. A very nicely improved article. FruitMonkey (talk) 20:31, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
