The 2011 Clarkson Cup was contested at the Barrie Molson Centre in Barrie, Ontario, Canada.[1] The four competing teams included three from the Canadian Women's Hockey League and one from the Western Women's Hockey League. All teams played each other in a round robin Thursday March 24 through Saturday March 26, with the top two teams meeting in the final Sunday March 27. In 2010 the tournament consisted of just two semi-finals and a final. A change to the format this year has made the tournament longer.
The top four teams from the CWHL competed in a tournament based on seedings. Seeds were determined by standings at end of regular season play.[2] On March 11 and 12, the number 1 seed played against the number 2 seed while the number 3 seed challenged the number 4 seed. The victors competed on March 13 to determine the CWHL champion. The WWHL champion was the lone WWHL team to compete in the Clarkson Cup.
In the first games, Toronto[7] and Montreal[8] earned victories over Brampton and Minnesota . In the second day, Sarah Vaillancourt scored 3 goals during the game to lead Montreal to a 7-4 victory over Brampton.[9] In another match, Sami Jo Small celebrated her 35th birthday by stopping 40 shots to lead Toronto to a 6-0 win over Minnesota.[10] The Championships tournament ran over the weekend. Saturday, Montreal scored a crucial victory 2-1 against Toronto.[11] This win guaranteed Montreal a place in the Clarkson Cup final on Sunday against Toronto, who also recorded two victories in the tournament.
