The NHL Canadian Championships begin this Saturday when the surprising Toronto Maple Leafs host the Montreal Canadiens (CBC, 7pm). When the teams met earlier in the NHL Regular Season, the Habs came away with an easy victory. The Leafs have tightened up on the defensive end, and have defeated some of the top teams in the NHL in the past two weeks. The Canadiens continue to show that they are team to be reckoned with, having only once in regulation time.
In other action next week, the Leafs travel out west to take on the Flames, Oilers and Canucks. With four of their ten games in the first week, the Buds could put themselves in an interesting position for the remainder of the competition.

Each team plays 10 games. One home and one away against each of the other Canadian teams.
Teams in the same conference play each other more than twice during the regular season, however only two of the meetings were selected (home and away). The games selected were Nationally Televised on TSN, CBC-Hockey Night in Canada (particularly on Hockey Day in Canada), or Holidays where possible.
The Canadian Championship will use same point structure as the NHL Regular Season (W - 2 pts, OTL - 1 pt, SOL - 1 pt)
The Champion will be the team with the most points.
