Hill to Serve as NSB Community All-Star Thursday

Vermont Frost Heaves News Release
South Burlington, Vt.-Roger Hill, the Worcester-based meteorologist, will be on the bench, in uniform and ready to play as the Northfield Savings Bank Community All-Star when the Vermont Frost Heaves host the Jersey Express on Thursday night at the Barre Auditorium.
The Express, the current leaders of the Central Division of the Blue Conference, will hook up with the 13-3 Frost Heaves for a 7:05 p.m. tip. Hill, whose Weathering Heights Website and broadcast reports keep Vermonters on the inside of what's going on outside, will shoot foul shots at halftime to benefit the Worcester Food Shelf.
At every home game the Frost Heaves welcome to their bench a guest player. This season Northfield Savings Bank invites fans to nominate NSB Community All-Stars by visiting their nearest NSB branch or going to nsbvt.com. Nominees may be a local celebrity; an everyday Vermonter; or just an unusually good citizen or neighbor. The Community All-Star takes center stage at halftime, when he or she is given 24 seconds to sink as many free throws as possible. Northfield Savings Bank makes a donation to the charity of the All-Star's choice for every shot made.
By taking and making shots at halftime of games last season, 23 Northfield Savings Bank Community All-Stars triggered thousands of dollars in giving to charities chosen by Frost Heaves fans. Over the past 10 years Northfield Savings Bank has donated $4.5 million to hundreds of local organizations, with the Community All-Star program an essential part of that effort.
Tickets for any Frost Heaves home game may be purchased at the door beginning one hour before tip-off; by going to flynntix.org; by calling 802-86-FLYNN; or by stopping by the Flynn's main box office at 153 Main Street in Burlington. Tickets for games in Barre are also available at First in Fitness in Montpelier and Allen Lumber in Barre. Groups of 20 or more may call the Frost Heaves' office at 802-860-0082 for discounted rates.
All Frost Heaves games, home and away, are broadcast on WSNO AM 1450 in Barre and WJOY AM 1230 in Burlington, with select games carried on WLVB FM 93.9 in Morrisville. In addition, free Webcasts of home games are available for viewing both live and on demand at vermontfrostheaves.com, where fans can also find an audio stream of the Vermont Frost Heaves Basketball Radio Network.
