Personal life

Viens is an alumnus of Glenville State College, where he played college football as a placekicker. Continuing his involvement in football after college, he founded the Vermont Bucks indoor football team in 2016 and, when the league in which it was planning to compete suspended operations prior to the Bucks' inaugural season,[5] established the Can-Am Indoor Football League for the 2017 season. The Can-Am league was based around the Bucks, a few traveling teams Viens established such as the Boston Blaze,[6] and established semi-professional football teams. Viens then created the Atlanta Havoc indoor football team for in the American Arena League (AAL), of which he was also a co-founder, and sold the Bucks to a local ownership group to also play in the AAL. The Bucks would end up folding before playing a game in the league and Viens would also step away from his roles in the Havoc and AAL on April 14, 2018.[7]
