 About
Us
The Bugstompers Mil-Sim Paintball team officially started in
January 2007 in Calgary, Alberta by a group of paintball
enthusiasts who wanted to take basic woodsball and scenario play
to the next level.
The first Bugstompers
envisioned a military-style group with common uniforms, milsim
markers and a dedication to using military tactics and ethos to
create a successful and challenging paintball team..
Since those early days,
the Bugstompers have grown into a well known fixture in the
Western Canadian paintball scene and have attracted a growing
list of high calibre team members as well as some of the top
industry sponsorships. Our roster now includes a number of former
NATO military veterans who between them have over 70 years of
combined military and combat experience. We are also fortunate to
include serving police officers and other players from a wide
range of career backgrounds, giving the Bugstompers a wealth of
experience to draw from.
The team has set itself a
number of challenges and it is those challenges that define who
we are. First and foremost, we hold ourselves to a higher
standard of training, performance and personal conduct than the
average paintball team.
Getting
into the Bugstompers is tough enough, but holding a position on
the regular squad demands an ongoing commitment to the team and
our sport. Each Bugstomper is expected to be a role model for
paintball in general and milsim paintball in particular. We all
enjoy meeting first time players or old hands and explaining who
we are and what we do. Promoting the sport is one of our primary
responsibilities and each team member is expected to do his or
her part.
The Alberta Milsim Group
was created in June 2009, in an effort to grow the popularity of milsim
paintball and the general player base beyond the limited ranks of
the Bugstompers, our team leadership sponsored the creation of
the Alberta Milsim Group (AMG). The AMG is open to everyone who
has an interest in milsim paintball and wants to learn more about
our form of the game. Under the leadership of the Bugstompers,
the AMG conducts milsim days to give players a chance to
experience the thrill of taking part in military-style missions
within a challenging and often intense environment. We also hold
regular joint Bugstomper-AMG training days to allow AMG players
to raise their skill levels alongside our own team members
