Well that is a bit extreme. Air Canada has a fleet of those that perform thousands of flights per week the harshest of weather and they never lost any due to icing: because the crews are trained and made aware of the CRJ's weakness about wing contamination and never take off with any unless fully de-iced.
The Air Canada CRJ100 landing accident in in Fredericton in 1997 had ice mentioned as one possible contributing factor though it could never be proved.
