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.
