Editing IronKids (section)

== Legacy ==

IronKids is remembered as an early example of a successful youth tournament team whose members progressed into professional competition.

Its association with Mare Island Paintball and Eric Crandall reflects the importance of Northern California's amateur tournament scene during the 1990s.

The team's success, and the subsequent formation of Dynasty, helped establish several players who remained prominent in professional paintball for decades.

In a retrospective article about the [[Hostile Kids]], Alex Fraige recalled that former IronKids members reunited for an informal competition against the younger team in 2002, following a disagreement over the use of a similar team crest.[10]

The IronKids name has continued to be referenced in historical accounts of Dynasty's formation and the development of professional paintball.[1][2]
