As many of you will already know (and the rest of you are about to find out) I have the good luck to know a few of southern Ontario's coolest teams (this is a subjective measure and not rated by any scientific studies etc etc so chill... Just my opinion). A perk of knowing a number of these teams and their members on a personal level is being able to keep you, my valued (and you ARE valued) readers up-to-date on the goings-on with these groups.
This blog article is being written to introduce the teams I will be 'featuring' here on KeepCalmThrowPain on a semi-regular to regular basis... Of course this will mostly be based on when I get out paintballing and I prefer to write about events I've actually witnessed or that I can do enough research into (and warrant that research) in order to call myself properly informed.
So, without any further adieu, here are the five (THREE SIR, THREE!) no, I meant it.... Five teams that will be getting the KKTP spotlight this upcominmg 2014 season:
- Asylum Assassins - https://www.facebook.com/AsylumAssassins
- Citrus Connection - https://www.facebook.com/thecitrusconnection
- Dead Men Walking - https://www.facebook.com/pages/Dead-Men-Walking-Paintball-Team/1418535588376141
- Picton Fusion - https://www.facebook.com/pictonfusionpaintballteam
Now you might be wondering... "Noob, why are you featuring THESE teams in particular?" or "What is it about THESE guys that makes them worthy of the high-and-lofty praise of a 'featured' spot on your blog?" (That one was just for laughs... I don't really take myself that seriously). The answer? Each of these teams and I have a special, personal connection through team members or the ideals they stand for (actually the values of all of these teams share common core points with me). So yeah, some might see this as a 'friends list' of sorts but I've got a tonne of friends out there, even down into the U-S-of-A but these guys are close to my home, and to my heart.
So, if I'm going to be shining a spotlight on these four... Let's call them 'interesting' groups of individuals I suppose you'll need a little background on each team won't you... Yeah... Well I suppose I could do that all in this blog post but I'm all about spotlights and focus and aimless banter so that leaves only one option...
Each of these four teams will be getting their own separate page under the KKTP header you see above this article. You can click on the page links and get my updates about each team.
Now I don't claim to be holding the rights to any 'scoops' as it were, I haven't asked the teams for any such thing. I simply want to be able to showcase these guys whenever I see them on the field or a news story involving one of them gets out there that needs a second set of eyes.
You may feel like only visiting one or two of the pages but folks, fellow noobs, ballers of all shapes and sizes I beseech you... I beg of you... Give each team due consideration. I wouldn't be posting them here if they didn't stand for something or have a positive impact on our sport.
And with that I simply ask you to do one last thing...
Keep calm and throw paint!
Joshua J. Taylor - The Noob Baller
