Great first week in the 3rd Annual Ottawa Water Polo League.
In the first game the young Titan's-2 team beat the GG's. Coach Blake Christie's team was clearly in better shape at this point in the season but the GG's bounced back with a much-improved performance against Hull-1. Scott Caswell, last year's 2nd highest goal scorer, scored 14 (!) goals in his first 2 games.
The Raven's pulled off a great victory over the Senior Men's team, which included players Jamie Earle, Bill Meyer, Nick Fox and Brennan Cartier and after 4 years of absence marked the come-back of coach Bela Szeri .
Raven player (and Titan coach) Blake Christie put his coaching board aside for an hour to show the others how it's done and scored 5 goals in an unusually physical game.
In the last game of Round 1 the Titan's-1 team clearly beat the Hull-2 team, which came as a surprise for many. Hull-2 is an amalgam of Hull Senior veterans and some Youth National team athletes but with a good team effort (and 8 goals by Youth National team player Stefan Pavicevic) the young Titans were able to hold the Hull team to 9 goals, while they put
away 16.
Round 2 looks every bit as exciting as the first round. The Ravens play Titans-2; GG's vs Titan's 1; Ravens against Hull-2 and the Seniors play Hull-1.
For more information on results and goal scorers please check www.titanswaterpolo.ca under OWPL.

Trillium
Success
In the summer of 2002, the Ottawa Titans Water Polo Association
received a three-year, $153,000 Ontario Trillium Foundation grant. This
contribution facilitated incredible growth and change within our club.
Titans Water Polo is now viewed as one of the premier water polo clubs
in Canada.
Hours and hours of volunteer effort along with the support from the
Trillium Foundation allowed us to overcome start-up challenges and
growing pains to build quality programs. The Titans’ leadership team is
thrilled to report that we have met or exceeded all of the objectives
set out in the grant application. Achievements include:
* The innovative 'I Love Water Polo' recreational
program
* Popular summer camps
* Unique programs to recruit and retain girls
* Flourishing development of coaches, referees and
volunteers
* Upgrades and improvements in club efficiency
Approximately one-third of the Trillium grant ($53,673) was used for
the purchase of new water polo equipment. Another $19,818 went toward
updated computer equipment, software, fax/photocopier, marketing costs
and office supplies. The remaining money was dedicated to salary and
program costs for clinics, camps and training courses to build our
club, our leadership and our athletes.
Over the last 3 years Titans Water Polo has:
* Grown on average more than 40% per year, with
approximately 45% of athletes being girls
* Offered 125 free introductory water polo clinics
for a total of 1,810 girls and boys ages 8-12
* Held 15 leadership training courses (coaching,
refereeing, minor officials) for 196 participants
* Hosted 141 specialty clinics for current members
(shooting, goalie, enhanced training, all-girls, etc). These were
attended by 2,707 participants, with approximately 20% of them from 'I
Love Water Polo'.
* Organized 7 specialty camps (summer, holiday,
March break) for 417 participants, with approximately 33% of
participants from 'I Love Water Polo’
* Received an Award of Excellence from Parks and
Recreation Ontario for the 'I Love Water Polo' program
Titans Water Polo wishes to thank our coaches, referees and volunteers
for their outstanding effort, initiative and leadership to make these
changes and programs a reality. We are grateful to Ontario Trillium
Foundation for its financial support.

the 2005 Spirit of the Capital Young Athlete award from Child
and Youth
Friendly
Thank you Ottawa Titans for nominating Patrick for this award!
What an extraordinary evening we had at the Awards Ceremony on June 2
at the
Congress Centre. Over 250 guests attended. The ceremony was
beautifully
orchestrated, star-studded and extremely moving. It was certainly an
honour to
be there with our son.
The Young Athlete category was sponsored by the Ottawa Senators.
Patrick was
introduced by Dave Ready of the Senators foundation. Patrick felt
extremely
honored to be even nominated, so when they announced his name he could
hardly
believe it. In accepting the award, Patrick thanked the Ottawa Titans
for their
nomination and support. The runner up-in this category was Samantha
Morris from
St Pius X Catholic High School.
Other award categories were Personal Courage, Global Citizenship,
Philanthropy,
Arts and Literature, Academic Perseverance and Entrepreneurship. All
the
nominees are outstanding young individuals who have demonstrated
extraordinary
strengths and accomplishments, and some have overcome tremendous
obstacles.
It was a wonderful event, and we came home feeling extremely proud of
Patrick
and of all the finalists and nominees for their tremendous
accomplishments, and
their spirit in making a difference in our community.
