On January 14, 2011, four major curling websites (CurlingZone, World Curling Tour, Ontario Curling Tour, and Canadian Curling Reporters) went offline[9] in an apparent cyber attack by hackers from China and Korea.[10] The problem was found to be missing databases of painstakingly documented curling information dating back two years from primary and secondary backup systems. For many weeks, the four websites and any content supported by CurlingZone's software were unable to be accessed. The proprietors of the websites were forced to request the help of data recovery services to recover the lost data, which includes information on thousands of curling events both major, like the Olympics season, and minor. As a result of these presumed cyber attacks, the websites were switched to a new server and reloaded with whatever information was available at the time.[11]
Capital One, the sponsor of the Grand Slam of Curling, the World Curling Championships, and various teams and bonspiels, stated a few days after the incident that they would match donations to CurlingZone to help the recovery effort and encouraged other curling-related businesses to donate money.[12] However, people involved with CurlingZone and The Curling News expressed concern that much of the data is irrecoverable and may have disappeared forever. As of March, the websites are up and running, but the content from last year and many years preceding it are still missing.
In another event, the websites of U.S. and world curling governing bodies were attacked by sites in China and Korea. The attacks may be related to the attacks on the four major curling websites.[11]
The Dominion MA Cupedit
The Dominion MA Cup presented by TSN was created for the first time for the 2010-11 season.[13] The Cup is awarded to the Canadian Curling Association Member Association (MA) who has had the most success during the season in the CCA sanctioned events. Events include the Canadian Mixed, Men's & Women's Juniors, the Scotties, the Brier, Men's & Women's Seniors and the national Wheelchair championship.
The inaugural title will go to both Alberta and Saskatchewan. Both MAs finished with the highest number of points, in a tie. The tie breaking procedure is the best record between the two MAs in round robin games, but the two MAs split their season series 4-4.
Alberta did not win any national titles; it was runner up in three events, and finished in the top six in all events. Saskatchewan, on the other hand, won both junior events and the Scotties. Manitoba finished third, having also won three events (the Brier, the men's seniors, the national wheelchairs).
The Governors Cup was also awarded, to the Member Association who has seen the most improvement. It was given to New Brunswick.
Points are awarded based on placement in each of the events, with the top association receiving 14 points, then the second place team with 13, etc.
The Capital One Cup is a season-long competition that awards curling teams point values for their participation in Capital One Grand Slam of Curling events. At the end of the season, the men's and women's teams with the top three point values are awarded purse totalling CAD$170,000. The top-ranked team is awarded $50,000, the second-ranked team $25,000, and the third-ranked team $10,000.
Kathy O'Rourke retired from curling after her team announced that they would break up.[17] O'Rourke was a former Canadian Mixed champion and has represented PEI at 6 Scotties, including the 2010 Scotties, where she and her team were the runner-up to Jennifer Jones.

Cheryl Bernard: Following the breakup of Bernard's Olympic silver medal-winning team of Susan O'Connor, Carolyn Darbyshire, and Cori Morris, Bernard and longtime third O'Connor will join new teammates Lori Olson-Johns and Jennifer Sadlier at second and lead, respectively.[19] Darbyshire will remain as alternate, while Morris has joined another team. Bernard's new second Olson-Johns has curled with Crystal Webster and Cathy King, while new lead Sadlier is a former junior provincial champion and has experience playing in provincial championships.
Brad Gushue: Following Nichols' announcement of his hiatus from curling, Gushue promoted Manitoba native Ryan Fry to the third position and added Geoff Walker of Alberta and Adam Casey of PEI as his second and lead, respectively.[20] Fry has been on the Gushue rink since the 2008–09 curling season; Walker and Casey were successful junior curlers.
Glenn Howard: Following the departure of Richard Hart, former teammate Wayne Middaugh will take the third position in Howard's team.
