February 8, 2017 (Kitchener, ON) - KW
Titans General Manager, Stu Julius, announced today that the club has
released guard Hichem Benayad-Cherif from the organization.
Following
the release of Benayad-Cherif, KW Titans have acquired 6’2” Canadian
guard Jason Calliste. The Scarborough, Ontario native finished his
collegiate career at the University of Oregon, and had proven to be one
of the most proficient 3-point shooters in the NCAA. In his first year
after college, 2014 -2015 he played a full season with NBA D-League
Maine Red Claws. He then played a season in Latvia (2015/16), before
returning to Maine for the beginning of the 2016/17 season.
“We
are excited to add Jason Calliste to our roster, he brings a high level
of skill and experience. We look to him to contribute early.” Said
General Manager, Stu Julius

This battle between two Highway 401 West
teams had everything a basketball fan could ask for. Both teams were back and
forth when it came to taking the lead, and at several times throughout today’s
game the score was tied.

Once OVERTIME began the KW Titans seemed to march down the
court with lots of confidence and enthusiasm and it showed on the
scoreboard.The final score had the KW
Titans winning by 10 points!
The game wasn’t the only thing that kept the audience on
their feet today.There was also a
presentation for a local hero, a quick hello from the NBL Canada Commissioner
and speech by the KW Suicide Prevention Council naming the KW Titans as their
ambassadors for 2017.Being Movember
committee members we appreciate hearing about the mental health initiatives
that the KW Titans are involved with.

Yesterday in front of a crowd of over 2000 the KW Titans
took to the court at the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium.While the crowd was there to enjoy the KWTitans Home Opener they were treated to lots of unexpected events throughout
the game.
It began when Power Forward, Cavell Johnson jumped in on the
player introductions to first thank the fans for supporting the team, but then
to make proposal of marriage to his girlfriend and you can see by the image below
she said YES!
Next Kitchener Mayor Berry Vrbanovic presented the official game
ball to the team.
Soon after the basketball game got underway the Titans
announced a new tradition of the fans standing until the team scores their
first basket.That didn’t take long to
accomplish and the energy in THE AUD kept the team in the lead for the better
part of the first half.
During the breaks the fans were introduced to the original
TEAM TITANS, participated in t-shirt and merchandise tosses and two fans got to compete in a
free throw challenge.
The second half was a nail biter as the teams were neck and neck.To keep spirits high, they had their young
fans head to centre court for quick CHICKEN DANCE, a dance almost every
Kitchener Waterloo resident is familiar with and one lucky fan got to take 3
point tosses. While the final quarter had both teams fighting for the win, the
game ended with the visitors defeating the KW Titans.Don’t think this means the team felt
defeated.The crowd cheered and fans
lined up to meet the players after the exciting game.
