| Angels Coach Luke Anderson and Captain Margo Legault with the Canadian Nationals trophy |
The ECAFL Preseason Cup expanded to include a women's cup for the first time in 2010, the Angels taking on the Toronto Central Blues. On home soil the Angels were too strong, winning two matches by an aggregate of 47 points and claiming the silverware.
After several false starts the Angels made their first trek to Toronto mid-season to tackle the Blues. In a bruising affair the Angels prevailed again, asserting themselves as the undisputed number 1 women's team in the region.
Having earned national selection on the back of fantastic performances at the previous years U.S Nationals, Margo and Aimee Legault debuted for Canada at the 49th Parallel Cup. The Canadians defeated the U.S for the first time, the Legault sisters both featuring amongst the team's best players.
After months of lobbying Montreal was awarded the 2010 Canadian Women's Nationals. Amid some controversy, Calgary, the 2009 champions elected to focus their efforts on the U.S Nationals and skip the tournament. Further bad news was to follow as the Toronto Central Blues also withdrew. It was left to the Edmonton Emus to fly over 3,000km to contest the cup. The underdog Angels captained by Margo Legault would go on to upset the travel weary Emus claiming the second annual Canadian National Championship.
The year once again rounded out at the U.S Nationals where three Angels would form a partnership with Calgary in somewhat of a Canadian super team. The combination worked wonders, the Calgary/Montreal combine team making the women's final but falling agonisingly short by a single point.
