The 2010–11 Boston Blades season was the first in Boston Blades history.[1] The Blades competed in the Canadian Women's Hockey League and attempted to win the Clarkson Cup.
On August 12, 2010, the CWHL announced that the city of Boston would receive an expansion team for the 2010–11 CWHL season. The unnamed team will practice at Ristuccia Arena in Wilmington.[2]
The Boston club was able to protect some players from being selected from their roster in the 2010 CWHL Draft.
