The 2010 Memorial Cup was a 4-team round-robin format tournament played during May 14 to 23, 2010 in Brandon, Manitoba. It determined the 92nd major junior champions of the Canadian Hockey League (CHL). The Brandon Wheat Kings hosted the event at the Keystone Centre. Other tournament participants included the Windsor Spitfires, champions of the Ontario Hockey League, the Moncton Wildcats, champions of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League and the Calgary Hitmen, champions of the Western Hockey League. The Spitfires went 4 to 0 in the tournament, defeating Brandon 9 to 1 in the championship to claim their second straight Memorial Cup title. 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.
