The KW Titans Want to Fill Up The AUD



Yesterday we attended the KW Titans Media Day and it was great to see the players getting prepped for the season.

It began with a warm-up practice and then went into a lot of drills that tested the players' offensive and defensive skills. The energy was high as the KW Titans players are getting set for their first 2023 game in Sudbury on Family Day.

Later on, the team was introduced to Media, Sponsors and Community Owners.  There was a great mix of returning and new players all eager to win this year's National Basketball League of Canada's Championship.


Fill Up The AUD

The team will be back at The AUD on March 1st for the Home Opener and when I asked them what messages they had for the fans, they were all ready to see local support.  Some of the messages were "Come see the show" "Please come out" "Bring your friends" but the response that received the best reaction was "Fill Up The AUD"


You can be part of the Home Opener by grabbing tickets! All the info is at https://www.kwtitans.com/ or if you already know the type of tickets you want, then head straight to the ticket purchase page https://kwtickets.evenue.net/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/SEGetEventList?groupCode=TITANS&linkID=cits&shopperContext=&caller=&appCode= or visit The Aud or Centre in the Square Box Office. Prices vary, but if you buy four or more, then tickets are $25 each for the bowl area.

We are so excited for the upcoming season and you can see it on all of our faces


Who are you looking forward to high-five and fist-bump on March 1st?
