Tim Viens played on South Burlington High School's football team in the early '90s. He's excited to be back, bringing Vermont's first indoor team.

"Vermont is starving for something to do during the winter, so being able to play indoor football gives people the opportunity to come out and go to a game and do something besides going skiing or snowboarding," Viens said.

Viens' old coach at South Burlington, Joe McDonald, agrees.

"I think it's great something like this is happening in Vermont," McDonald said. "It's definitely something that's needed in this area."

Viens hopes to enter an agreement to use the University of Vermont's Gutterson Fieldhouse for home games. The season is set to begin in early March.
