Ironmen lose a key piece of the "winning combo"
February 4, 2009 in Breaking News, Ironmen
After 3 years of hard work, veteran coach Shane Pestana has officially retired as head coach of the Ironmen. Pestana played a crucial part in turning the Ironmen around from Youngbloods red headed stepchild of a team to the 2x Consecutive World Champions we know them as today. Leaving the team fresh off a second World Championship win is a wonderful way to finish his career.
Sources report the team is in negotiations with Chris Lasoya (ha!), and “Coach Steve” from Velocity Paintball Park (who we should note holds a whopping D3 background). From the looks of things, JR, Cuba, Paxson and Ollie may try and run the matches on their own. Mark our words folks, Shane Pestana’s departure is a major loss for the World Champion Ironmen.
Will the Ironmen continue to reign PSP World Champions? Sound off in the comments below!

I feel like there have to be better coaches than Lasoya and this Coach Steve cat floating around, especially after so many teams have dropped off the map in the last few years.

They need to find a coach. I think players coaching (Ollie) would turn out bad

doogie retires! said on February 4, 2009
Well its about time for Doogie to retire. I remember when he first started playing. We called him Doogie after Doogie Howser…(the TV show with the 16 yr old kid who was a doctor) cause he looked so young and kinda like Doogie Howser.
He has spent a lifetime playing competing and coaching and Im sure he welcomes retirement. Congratulations on a great Career Shane! Good luck in the future!

Maybe Billy might move to coach and have lasoya take his place on the field. Which in my opinion would be a good move
