Canadian Junior Hockey 2010 - 11 Memorial Cup
The 2011 Memorial Cup was a four-team round-robin format ice hockey tournament played from May 20 to 29, 2011 in Mississauga, Ontario. It was the 93rd Memorial Cup championship and determined the champion of the Canadian Hockey League (CHL). The Mississauga St. Michael's Majors were chosen to host the event at the Hershey Centre. Other tournament participants included the Ontario Hockey League Champions Owen Sound Attack, the Saint John Sea Dogs from the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and the Kootenay Ice from the Western Hockey League.
The Saint John Sea Dogs defeated the Mississauga St. Michael's Majors 3 to 1 in the final to win the Memorial Cup. The Memorial Cup was originally known as the OHA Memorial Cup and was donated by the Ontario Hockey Association in March, 1919. Initially the Cup was awarded to the national junior hockey champions of Canada. Later on it came to signify Junior 'A' hockey supremacy when in 1934, junior hockey in Canada was divided into 'A' and 'B' classifications. In 1971, junior 'A' hockey was divided once again to form a major junior and a Tier 'II' level. The Memorial Cup was awarded to the higher category. In 1972, a round-robin tournament format replaced the old play-down system to determine the champions. Since then, the champions of the Western Hockey League (WHL), the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) and the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), along with a host club, have met each spring in a round-robin series with the two top teams playing off in a sudden-death game to determine the Cup champions. |
