Kinetic Affect to Perform this Sunday During K-Wings Game

November 2, 2011 - ECHL (ECHL) Kalamazoo Wings

Kalamazoo, MI- The Kalamazoo Wings, proud member of the ECHL, two-time defending North Division Champions, reigning Eastern Conference Champions and National Hockey League affiliate to the Vancouver Canucks and New Jersey Devils and American Hockey League's Albany Devils, announce that Kalamazoo's very own Kinetic Affect will highlight the first "Family Hockey Day in the 'ZOO!" this Sunday, November 6th at 4 p.m. versus the Chicago Express at Wings Stadium.

Kinetic Affect is a dynamic spoken word duo based in Kalamazoo composed of two very different men; Kirk Latimer, a survivor of his own destructive past, and Gabriel Giron, a cancer survivor, they they've teamed up to combine their voices to give life to their difficult past experiences in order to deliver a positive message to people of all ages.

Together they are able to show audiences the common humanity we all share. Having been featured on the hit show, America's Got Talent and on the world famous Apollo stage, Kinetic Affect combines entertainment with deeply moving and emotional personal struggles and triumphs.

This work has driven them to co-found a non-profit organization called Speak It Forward Inc. which brings the power of their work and personal experiences to those individuals, vulnerable children and organizations that need it the most.

For the first-time in front of a live audience, Kinetic Affect will perform their latest creation, the Michigan Poem, which the duo originally created for the Kellogg Foundation and now intends to spread this important message throughout the state.

This season, "Family Hockey Day in the 'ZOO!" will be presented by Meijer, Pepsi, Charter Communications and the Kalamazoo Gazette and will feature a FREE post-game skate with all the K-Wings players (skate rental is available for only $3).

Customary to Sunday games, all Kids (12 and under) will eat FREE and the first 500 kids will receive a FREE Meijer water bottle. This Sunday, in honor of, Slappy's birthday, the K-Wings will be hosting Mascot Mania and a party for Kalamazoo's favorite mascot.

Also during the game, Meijer will have its Mobile Playground, featuring WII games, a concourse carnival courtesy of Vertical Edge and much more for kids of all ages.
