It was the first year of a two-year CIS Championship bid won by University of New Brunswick and hosted at their on-campus hockey rink – Aitken University Centre. The defending champions were St. Mary's Huskies, who won their 1st title in team history the previous year in Saskatoon. There would be a new champion this season as SMU was unsuccessful in advancing to the event. Similar to previous years, going back to the introduction of the expanded format in 1998, the six invited teams were split into two(2) Pools of three(3) where each team plays the other(two games total). The best team in each Pool advances to the final. All pool games must be decided by a win, there are no ties. If a pool has a three-way tie for 1st (all teams have 1–1 records) than GF/GA differential among the tied teams is the first tie-breaker.

The wild-card team was selected from the CW Conference as the OUA was provided the wild-card in 2010 and AUS teams are ineligible as they are the host conference. To avoid having St.FX in the same pool as UNB and Western in the same pool as McGill, the two teams were swapped.
