Editing IronKids (section)

== Relationship with San Diego Dynasty ==

IronKids was an important predecessor to [[San Diego Dynasty]], although the two teams were not identical organisations.

Following the original IronKids campaign, several players joined other amateur and professional teams.

Oliver Lang advanced to professional competition with the [[Ironmen (paintball team)|Ironmen]], while several of his former teammates continued competing in amateur divisions.[1]

In 2001, [[Chuck Hendsch]] helped establish Dynasty as a new professional team featuring several former IronKids players.

The team's original professional roster included Ryan Greenspan, Alex Fraige, Brian Cole and Angel Fragoza, alongside other experienced competitors.[3]

Not every former IronKids member joined Dynasty at its establishment. Contemporary reporting from the 2001 NPPL Los Angeles Open specifically noted that Yosh Rau joined the Southern California Ironmen instead.[3]

Dynasty won the professional ten-man championship at the 2001 NPPL World Cup in its inaugural season.[9]

The former IronKids players subsequently developed individual careers in professional tournament paintball, with several becoming longstanding Dynasty members.
