Can-ley Cup Stands Tall
February 22, 2012
The Bloomfield Hills Cranbrook-Kingswood and Brother Rice hockey programs faced off against hunger Friday -- and helped raise more than $10,000 for the Gleaners Community Food Bank of Southeast Michigan.
The Cup pictured above was constructed of 3,500 tuna cans donated by Kroger. It was nearly seven feet tall and four feet in diameter and weighed nearly 1,400 pounds. It took six hours to build and was designed and constructed by members of the American Institute of Architects.
The "Faceoff Against Hunger" included doubleheaders between the schools' junior varsity and varsity teams at Wallace Ice Arena. The schools wore 1970s uniforms to mark when their rivalry began,
Cranbrook-Kingswood annually plays a hockey doubleheader to benefit a charity. Last season it raised funds for families of the armed forces, and in 2010 played at Detroit's Clark Park and then donated proceeds to that facility.

Sault Ste. Marie sent 54 shots at Flint Powers Catholic’s net during their Division 3 Semifinal on March 8, 2013, compared to 21 shots on goal by the Chargers.
But only when Eric Hillock fired through his second goal in double overtime did the Blue Devils gain a final edge 4-3 to advance to the championship game.
“We felt like we were out-working them for most of the game but we just couldn’t seem to bury it,” Hillock said that day to the Flint Journal. “(The game-winning goal) was just a result of a great pass out of the corner and I was able to put it on net and get the win.”
