The Amateur division also had a handful of classic names—like Ground Zero Gold, Shocktech Gunfighters, The Family, Doc’s Warriors, X-Men, Black Sunday and more. The ICPL event rosters were filled with paintball royalty. Renick Miller, Todd Adamson, Mike Bruno, Shane Pestana, Garrett Noblett and Danny Love were just a few of the 90s star players on Aftershock’s Windy City Roster.
