Hellion "Kevlar" Breaks Into College Paintball
CHICAGO, IL – January 31, 2008 - As President elect and Co-Founder, it is my honor to announce the launch of the Moraine Valley College Cyclones Paintball Club, a National Collegiate Paintball Association recognized club.
Cyclones Paintball was formed by a group of individuals that share a common vision of holding the extreme sport of paintball as one of safe competition and as an opportunity to meet new people and make new friends. Cyclones Paintball will be a tournament-style club team that will cater to those who are experienced and to those who may be new to paintball. We strive to reinvigorate the current intramural and extra-curricular programs already in existence at the school. Paintball clubs have also been found to act as tools for school in recruiting processes, and we will now join over 300 college clubs currently being recognized.
"We had been discussing doing an event at CPX Sports since our visit to the field back in June, and solidified the concept of Living Legends while in Orlando at World Cup" said Sean Scott from Smart Parts. "CPX Sports itself is a legendary field and its Midwest location makes it an ideal venue for such an event," said Scott. "An event like this is long overdue," said Living Legend Craig Miller. "It's rare for those of us in the industry to get together with others who helped form the sport, let alone all be in the same place at the same time. To get together and play with all the big names from Paintball's past and present is unheard of. This really is going to be a once in a lifetime opportunity for everyone who attends the game," concluded Miller. Kerry "Viper " Rosenberry adds, "With the popularity of Scenario Paintball, there are many event promoters whose aggressive tactics have them intentionally conflicting with others. I feel that two of the nation's first Scenario directors working together on one great event sends a message that it is time for promoters to work together in the interest of the players".
At the same time, I would like to credit the leadership and motivational attributes I have gained as a member of the Hellions. I shall be working to make this club truly unique. It shall be the first club at the school to have its own internet resources for student and faculty members seeking membership and/or participation. We have already made strides at being an independent source of our own e-commerce holdings. Our custom designed logo was provided to us by Don McClelland of MacMasks.com, and our custom jerseys by Animal Paintball.
Additional supporters of the club at this time are Hellions Paintball, Team Fugazi, Windy City Paintball Club, the National Police Paintball Organization and a number of other well respected businesses and organizations.
Cyclones Paintball will be endorsing the Home Field Advantage Program offered by its home field of CPX Sports, the premier paintball and extreme sports facility of the Midwest. With a demographic at the school of over 47,000 enrolled students, I am hoping to make this a success for the Club and CPX.
Thank you to all those involved and to those working for the betterment of the club's future.

Hellions Team With Local VFW Post
"Founded in 1899 after the Spanish-American War, the VFW was founded under the principles of providing medical aid and benefits to members of the armed forces who came home with illness and injuries from the front. Since its inception, the VFW's mission has been to "honor the dead, by helping the living".
With our recognized portrayal of the US Army Special Forces, the Hellions have partnered with VFW Post 6863 of Summit, Illinois, in an effort to honor those who have served and presently serve in our Nation's military. The team hopes to bring greater awareness to the general public of the VFW's mission and endeavors and ultimate vision of bringing about legislation that will provide financial assistance as well as adequate medical facilities to our Nation's Finest
A meeting with Post 6863 General Manager Thomas Mulcahy produced very positive results. Hellions Paintball will act as the Post's on-field representative, demonstrating leadership abilities, sportsmanship, and the fair play they have been known for. A financial donation to the team was generously offered, but it was respectfully turned down by the players. Instead, the team will help the Post financially by promoting the Post's famous catering services.
Hellions Paintball are pleased to participate in this one of a kind partnership and we look forward to a long, successful relationship with the Verterans of Foreign Wars Post 6863."
For the latest news affecting Post 6863, visit them on their official Web site on the Veterans of Foreign Wars Illinois WebCOM Network: http://www.vfwwebcom.org/il/post6863
Kevin "Kevlar" Quinn is the Hellions' Public Affairs Officer. For more information on the team's partnership with Post 6863 or other sponsorships, contact him at Kevlar@Hellions.net.
