Editing Rocky Cagnoni (section)

=== Avalanche ===

Cagnoni was a prominent member of Avalanche during the team's successful period in professional ten-player competition.

His teammates included [[Chris LaSoya]], [[Steve Rabackoff]], [[Travis Lemanski]], [[Todd Martinez]], [[Jon Richardson]] and Ed Poorman.

At the 1999 NPPL Dallas Open, Avalanche won the professional ten-player division.

The team had also won the preceding Las Vegas event and subsequently secured the 1999 NPPL professional ten-player season championship.[2][6]

Avalanche continued competing at the highest level during the following seasons.

The team's victory at the 2001 NPPL Gettysburg Open was documented by contemporary WARPIG tournament coverage.[7]

Cagnoni appeared on Avalanche's published professional NPPL rosters in both 2001 and 2002.[8][9]

At the beginning of the 2002 season, WARPIG explicitly reported that rumours of Cagnoni leaving Avalanche were incorrect and that he remained part of the team's established line-up.[10]

During his time with Avalanche, Cagnoni was particularly associated with aggressive forward movement and close-range attacks.

Iconic Paintball's retrospective assessment described him as an influential front player whose style contrasted with the more conservative tactical approaches common in earlier tournament formats.[11]
