Shane Pestana, 2022 Hall of Icons Inductee.

The Leader

Notable Teams: Ironmen. 

Shane was arguably the first young professional player to come into the sport and outclass his veteran peers immediately. His most potent weapon has always been his mind, and his methodical approach to the game set the tone of the professional league all the way to its current iteration. With multiple World Championships in the 90s and 2000s, he is again one of the best examples of a multi-era dominant star. He learned from some of the best minds in the games history and added in his own style of methodical aggression to help build some of the best Ironmen rosters in history. Many players that rose to fame in the early 2000’s credit Shane for their passion and desire to achieve greatness in the game. He always commanded a quiet respect among all of his peers and teammates and he was consistently looked to for leadership. Shane is maybe one of the most influential players in the game in terms of his fingerprint on the modern stable of pros that many of us watched in the 2000s and 2010s.
