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.

Be The Referee is a series of short messages designed to help educate people on the rules of different sports, to help them better understand the art of officiating, and to recruit officials.
Below is this week's segment – Hockey Officials - Listen
Throughout the high school hockey season, you are used to seeing three officials on the ice. But starting in the Quarterfinal round, four officials are used. The four-person system utilizes two referees and two linesmen. And that’s used for quarters, semis and the Finals.
This system allows for more coverage. The two referees can concentrate on penalties and other rules. The two linesmen's primary duties are offsides and icing.
The move to four officials allows for more consistent coverage of the fastest game in the MHSAA. And like we do in other sports, the best officials are chosen for the final rounds.
