As in previous tournaments, participating teams included the Montreal Impact, Toronto FC and Vancouver Whitecaps FC, the latter participating for the first time since succeeding the previous iteration of the team. FC Edmonton also participated in this year's competition for the first time. Toronto FC won the tournament, claiming the Voyageurs Cup and Canada's entry into the preliminary round of the 2011–12 CONCACAF Champions League. The tournament has been held annually since 2008. The format of the 2011 tournament was different from previous editions. In 2011, with four teams involved, the tournament was changed to be a home-and-away semi-final round and a similar final round between the winners. Toronto, as reigning champions, were assigned the top seed and were matched with Edmonton, who were assigned the fourth seed as newcomers to the tournament. The two remaining teams, Montreal and Vancouver, faced off in the other semi-final.http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/format-nutrilite-canadian-championship-may-change Format of Canadian Championship may change Duane Rollins Major League Soccer December 12, 2010 December 13, 2010http://www.torontosun.com/sports/soccer/2011/02/17/17309476.html Early test for FC Edmonton Terry Jones Toronto Sun February 17, 2011 February 17, 2011 Bracket Seeding 1.
