2010–11 Toronto CWHL season
# 2010–11 Toronto CWHL season

The 2010–11 Toronto CWHL season was the first season for the team that became known as the Toronto Furies at the end of the season. The Canadian Women's Hockey League underwent a restructuring prior to the 2010–11 CWHL season that led to the folding of three teams and the creation of a new Toronto team. It also head held its first draft in 2010 for its three Greater Toronto Area teams, where the Toronto CWHL team protected former Mississauga Chiefs' players Jennifer Botterill and Sami Jo Small. The Toronto team then proceeded to pick many other former Chiefs' players to make up the majority of the new team.
