The twelve teams of the GMHL played 42-game schedules. In February 2010, the top teams of the league played down for the Russell Cup, emblematic of the grand championship of the GMHL. Since the GMHL is independent from Hockey Canada and the Canadian Junior Hockey League, this is where the GMHL's season ended. The Deseronto Storm won their first Russell Cup beating the South Muskoka Shield 4-games-to-3. Changes Expansion was granted to Algoma Avalanche. Ville-Marie Dragons, which did not finish the 2008-09 season, moved and became Powassan Dragons. Nipissing Alouettes, Richmond Hill Rams, and Espanola Kings were granted leaves of absence. Ville-Marie Voyageurs were announced, but failed to start the season. Minden Riverkings folded mid-season, on November 11, 2009. Twelve teams started the season, and played as one division rather than two divisions, as the league operated in the previous year.
