London Shadow Squad
and the name was changed to the BT
Series due to a main sponsor coming
on-board.
In 2011 we returned to playing competitive paintball and entered the TAC 5, a
brand new woodsball tournament that
started in Ontario. We finished 3rd
overall in the series.
Andrew, thanks for taking the time to
chat with us. So, you’re from London,
Ontario, not England, right :)
Yes, that’s correct!
Please tell us a bit about London Shadow Squad.
Shadow Squad started in 2007 as a
woodsball team based out of Flagswipe
paintball in London, Ontario. We traveled all over southwestern Ontario
playing big games for years. During the
2008 season we began playing in the
Canadian Tactical Series (CTS) and in
the third year we were asked by Flagswipe Paintball to help run the series
as game officials. In 2010 we took over
most of the operations of the series
january 2014
2013 marks a new era in Shadow Squad
history. After 5 years playing woodsball, we are hanging up our tac vests
and putting on pod packs, jumping
head first into the word of speedball.
We joined the NAPL – North American Paintball League in Syracuse, New
York. And also joined the USPA- United States Paintball Assication in Batavia, New York. This wasn’t an easy
decision, but after the TAC 5 folded last
year we had a bit of time to think over
our options. In the end we decided to
try our hand at something new.
Do you have sponsors? If so, who are
they?
