The Vermont Frost Heaves are Vermont's professional basketball team. The formation of the team was announced in December 2005 by owner Alexander Wolff, a Cornwall, Vermont resident and writer for Sports Illustrated. The Heaves are part of the American Basketball Association, a league that is based, in part, on the original ABA, which disbanded in 1976. Currently, they are the defending ABA Champions.
The Heaves started playing in the fall of 2006 at the Barre Municipal Auditorium in Barre, Vermont and the Burlington Memorial Auditorium in Burlington, Vermont.
The Frost Heaves were extremely successful in the 2006-2007 season. The Heaves started off with a 108-100 overtime loss at Quebec City before going on a 5 game win streak with wins over Montreal, Buffalo, Quebec City, and Cape Cod. An overtime loss at Strong Island was followed by a seven game win streak ended by Quebec City in Barre, the team's first ever home loss. Attendance was between 900 and 1,650 for the games.
The team ended the regular season 30-6. On March 29, 2007, the Frost Heaves won the ABA Championship, defeating the Texas Tycoons 143-95.
