CANUSA 2022

CANUSA Hockey Families,
The 64th CANUSA Games weekend has quickly come to an end. We hope that your experience was positive and rewarding. It warmed our hearts to hear the positive and generous comments made by families from both sides of the border who enjoyed the CANUSA experience for the first time. It was also gratifying to see many of you return again this year. You participated and shared in this unique team, family, and sporting relationship that has united our cities for many generations. What a wonderful weekend tradition, giving us all great memories.
Kudos to the players! They came together quickly and played some pretty exciting hockey! Our kids were true ambassadors – representing our city, state, and country. The way they buddied up with their Hamilton counterparts was genuine. They should be proud of their actions both on and off the ice.
A big thanks to all of you who generously opened your home to our Hamilton friends. This has always been the special ingredient that fosters the friendship and goodwill we experience. Through the years, the bond that has formed between athletes and their families has come to champion Flint and Hamilton as sister cities. Your kindness has continued this great tradition!
A huge shout-out to our volunteer coaches. We couldn’t do this without them. To the 14U Coaches, Jeremy Cook and Matt Bendall, who have been with us for the last 6 years. To Travis Perry (4 years) and Vincent Finateri (2 years) of the 12U team. And to first-time coaches Brett Coron, Jay Oliver, Jason Lockwood, and Camden Smith of the 10U team. We thank them all for their leadership, commitment, and guidance to their teams, but also for the CANUSA Philosophy.
Special thanks to Matt Walker and Kevin Staskowski at Perani’s Hockey World for their continued support of CANUSA Hockey. Their support goes way past the jerseys and t-shirts, which by the way were again awesome!
We thank Jeremy Torrey and the Flint Firebirds for their generous contributions to CANUSA Hockey. We will be working on a Flint Firebirds vs. Hamilton Bulldogs CANUSA Night on Friday, March 17th. Mark your calendars!
Thanks to Michelle Wisenbaugh and Crystal Fieldhouse for their support and hospitality. We are proud to call Crystal Fieldhouse our Home Arena.
Thanks to Sharky’s Sports Bar for hosting our Greet and Eat Gathering. They graciously welcomed our families to the successful icebreaker events.
A last but really foremost thanks to the Crim Fitness Foundation and the CANUSA Sponsors who make all of this possible. Special thanks to Chris Collins, Tony Sitko, Mike Maienbrook and their team for their leadership and hard work.
We feel very fortunate that our paths crossed this summer. Enjoy the rest of it, and good luck in your upcoming season. All the best to you who age out of CANUSA. To the rest of you, we hope to see you next summer for CANUSA tryouts, as we form teams to travel to Canada and “Experience the Friendship” at the 65th CANUSA Games!
Take Care,
Mark and Rico

Crystal Fieldhouse plan to reopen safely on July 6, 2020

See Below News release from Governor.  Crystal Fieldhouse plans to safely open on July 6, 2020.  Please send all ice requests to michelle@crystalfh.com    Please watch for further updates regarding adult leagues as we will plan to have meetings with team managers closer to July 6th.  Michelle
Michigan Executive Office of the Governor Thu, Jun 18, 2:04 PM (21 hours ago)
to Michelle

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE  
June 18, 2020  
Contact: press@michigan.gov  
 
Governor Whitmer Extends State of Emergency to Continue Protecting the Health and Safety of Michiganders 
 
LANSING, Mich. — Governor Whitmer today signed Executive Order 2020-127, which extends the state of emergency declaration related to the COVID-19 pandemic until July 16. In doing so, Governor Whitmer joins nearly every state in the country in maintaining a state of emergency to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic. This executive order will allow her to continue taking action to protect Michigan families and workers. 
 
“The aggressive measures we took at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic have worked to flatten the curve, but there is still more to be done to prevent a second wave,” Governor Whitmer said. “We owe it to the heroes on the front lines to keep doing our part by wearing a mask when in public and practicing social distancing. Now is not the time to get complacent. We must continue to stay vigilant and flexible in order to reduce the chance of a second wave.” 
 
A new report released by the Imperial College COVID-19 Response Team shows the aggressive actions taken to protect Michigan families from the spread of COVID-19 have significantly lowered the number of cases and deaths that would have occurred had the state done nothing. Without intervention, Michigan might have experienced 28,000 more positive cases before June 1. 
 
“The data backs it up: The Stay Home, Stay Safe Order undeniably saved lives,” Governor Whitmer said. “Very few states dropped their infection rate as low and for as long as Michigan has, and I want thank everyone who stepped up to do their part to protect our communities.” 
 
With the reduction in COVID-19 case counts, Governor Whitmer has relaxed restrictions over the last several weeks on business activities and daily life. On June 1, she announced that most of the state would move to Phase 4 of the governor’s Start plan, allowing retailers and restaurants to resume operations. Hair salons and other personal care services followed two weeks later. And on June 10, the Upper Peninsula and the region surrounding Traverse City were moved to Phase 5 allowing for the reopening of movie theaters, gyms and bowling alleys. If current trends continue the rest of the state will be moved to Phase 5 by July 4. 
 
Information around this outbreak is changing rapidly. The latest information is available at Michigan.gov/Coronavirus and CDC.gov/Coronavirus.

See article from May 29, 2020 https://www.clickondetroit.com/news/local/2020/06/01/heres-a-list-of-27-types-of-businesses-that-are-still-closed-in-michigan/ where 27 different kinds of businesses still closed, including all ice rinks.

​Things change fast from March 29th no rinks to June 5th opening rinks in district 6&8 
​​

Crystal Fieldhouse Ice Arena in Burton has been closed since March 16, 2020 due to Covid-19.   We still do not have an exact opening date.  As we are following our Michigan Governor's orders.  She has opened rinks in Region 6 & 8 (see below a list of counties).  Crystal Fieldhouse is in Genesee County District 5.  We are still hopeful to open in July.  Once she opens our Region we will need 2 weeks from that date to put our ice back in.  One rink at a time, starting with our South Rink.   We are as anxious as anyone else to open, and get our hockey players and figure skaters back on the ice in Genesee County.
