The 1911 Allan Cup was the Canadian national senior ice hockey championship for the 1910-11 season. The defending champion Toronto St. Michael's Majors were stripped of the title by default to the Winnipeg Victorias. The Victorias then defeated the Kenora Thistles in a challenge to hold the title. It was the third season of play for the Allan Cup.
Famous quotes containing the words allan and/or cup:
“And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon’s that is dreaming,
And the lamp-light o’er him streaming throws his shadow on the
floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted—nevermore!”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“I believe that water is the only drink for a wise man: wine is not so noble a liquor; and think of dashing the hopes of a morning with a cup of warm coffee, or of an evening with a dish of tea! Ah, how low I fall when I am tempted by them! Even music may be intoxicating. Such apparently slight causes destroyed Greece and Rome, and will destroy England and America.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
