Since my post, the KW Titans have been creating a lot of buzz around Kitchener Waterloo! Yesterday they spent the morning at the Kitchener Market for the Movember Kids KW event and they were a big hit!

Seeking the Spirits

Many of you know Theresa Caputo from her television show Long Island Medium, but did you know she also travels the world to connect live audiences with the spirits that watch over them?

We had the opportunity to see Theresa Caputo in Toronto a couple of years ago.  Seeing her connecting to the other side live is astounding.  We do not want to give away what will happen during the event, but let us tell you SEEING IS DEFINITELY BELIEVING!

"The Experience" brings Theresa face-to-face with her fans, as she lets spirit guide her through the audience. A video display ensures everyone in the venue has an up-close-hands-on experience regardless of seat location. "The experience isn't about believing in mediums. It's about witnessing something life-changing" says Theresa Caputo. "It's like Long Island Medium live, witnessing first-hand spirit communication."

Now Theresa Caputo is headed for Kitchener Ontario Canada on November 5, 2017.  She will be bringing her Theresa Caputo Live! The Experience to the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium Complex (otherwise known as The Aud).

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

KW Titans Propose To Put Kitchener Waterloo On The Basketball Map By Marrying Old Traditions With New Ones

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.

We were thrilled to see so many Stuff To Do With Your Kids In Kitchener Waterloo families at the game! As you can tell it was a fantastic day of basketball and family fun. Make sure you don't miss any of the fun by bringing your family to the upcoming games as well.

KW Titans Schedule
Then next 2 home games for the KW Titans happen the 2^nd week of January 2017.  Get your tickets for the Sunday January 8^th 2pm game and the Tuesday January 10^th at 7pm by visiting the KW Titans Schedule page.  There you will find the information for both home and away games this season.

We you at the KW Titans game or plan to attend one soon? Let us know in the comments. We love hearing about your experiences and what our readers think!

 

Meet The KW Titans’ Sutherland Brothers

Today I had the opportunity to meet Tramar and Tramique Sutherland at the KW Titans Media Launch.  While the press conference part of the KW Titans media day was a great way to kick off the inaugural season, getting to know this sibling duo provided some insight on what we can expect to see this basketball season.

Sibling rivalry and brotherly love is what keeps The Sutherlands competitive.  Growing up playing backyard basketball, as they put it, seemed like the only opportunity for them compete.  Because of their age difference, Tramar born in 1989 and Tramique born in 1993, they were never in the same divisions when it came to playing on teams.  This will all change this month when the brothers take to the court at The Kitchener Auditorium as part of #TeamTitans.   Knowing each other’s game play very well they believe they can anticipate each other’s moves and perhaps by instinct know what each other is thinking during the game.

Advice From Tramar and Tramique Sutherland

When asked what message they like to send to the kids of our local Stuff To Do With Your Kids In Kitchener Waterloo blog they gave encouraging sentiments about staying competitive and making sure to stay in school.  They take both of these messages to heart themselves and feel as though those are some of the reasons why they have reached the level of professional basketball players.

Meet The Sutherland Brothers And The KW Titans Team Tonight

Tonight (December 15,2016) the KW Titans will be having a Meet and Greet at the Boston Pizza Alpine location on Ottawa St. in Kitchener.  It gives the community a chance to meet KW’s newest professional team.  They will be on hand for from 6pm-7:30pm.  We think this would be a great family friendly event to help get to know the team members, coaching staff, and maybe even the KW Titans Mascot Titus The Titan.

You might also meet other families that are interested in attending the KW Titans games!

Reminder the KW Titans Have Two Events To Mark On Your Calendar

This Saturday have fun while giving back to our local community! The KW Titans are hosting an EXHIBITION CHARITY GAME at the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium at 2pm on December 17,2016. Admission is only $5 plus an unwrapped toy.  The proceeds will be going to the Salvation Army Christmas Kettle.  We think it’s a great way to see if your family will enjoy spending time together watching the KW Titans basketball games.

Plus on Boxing Day, December 26, 2016 the KW Titans Home Opener begins at 7pm.  It’s a great way to spend some time together over the Christmas Holiday! We even have a contest where you have a chance to win tickets to the KW Titans Home Opener at the Kitchener Aud.  Check out our post at http://stufftodowithyourkidsinkw.blogspot.ca/2016/11/kw-titans-bring-pro-basketball-to.html for all the details.

Hedley, Carly Rae Jepsen And Francesco Yates Stop By Kitchener TO SAY HELLO! #HelloWorldTourKitchener Media Coverage

Last night I had the opportunity to see performances by HEDLEY, CARLY RAE JEPSEN and FRANCESCO YATES at the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium Complex here in Kitchener Ontario courtesy of LIVE NATION.  While all three of these fantastic Canadian artists have performed in the area before, combined they brought their great energy and talent to the filled arena.

Here's what happened at the #HelloWorldTourKitchener stop.

Francesco Yates Brought The Flair

The stylistic sounds of Francesco Yates fired up the audience as the opening act and created a buzz that reached the audience for the stage to the stands.

Here's @francescoyates at #helloworldtourkitchener #kwawesome

Her vocal stylings and "sing with me" style had the crowd singing and dancing to her new songs as well as her hits like CALL ME MAYBE and GOOD TIME. Being the only female on this tour, Carly Rae Jepsen showed that she can run with the boys any day.

Hedley Brought Down The House

Hedley brings new meaning to the term taking it up a notch.  Throughout their concert they repeatedly brought the audience to their feet asking "Do You Feel Like Dancing"?  How could anyone refuse that offer?

Whether they were jetting across stage
