Vermont Frost Heaves News Release
South Burlington, Vt.-Milne Travel American Express has arranged for a package tour for Vermont fans to attend the last remaining regular-season game between the Vermont Frost Heaves and Manchester Millrats on Saturday, Feb. 2,

Manchester (14-9) is the lone team to defeat Vermont (20-3) this season, and leads the season's series 3-2. Referees cut short the two teams' last meeting, a 109-99 Frost Heaves victory on Jan. 12 in Burlington, with 49 seconds to play after the third altercation between the two teams.
"Our last game ended prematurely, and incidents occurred that neither team is proud of," said Frost Heaves president Alexander Wolff. "But the Vermont fans who hit the road in support of the Frost Heaves are known throughout the ABA for their sporting attitude and good humor. The group road-tripping to Manchester on Feb. 2 will be no different."
