The Battalion would go through the 2010–11 season with a very young group of defenceman and goaltenders. Following a lengthy losing streak in November GM Stan Butler traded goaltender Jacob Riley to Sudbury while releasing import goaltender Dennis Saikkonen. Butler then signed OA goaltender Cody St.Jacques and traded veteran defenceman Kyle Pereira and a draft pick to Guelph for rookie import goaltender Matej Machovsky. With much more steady goaltending the Battalion managed a near .500 record for the rest of the season finishing with 29 wins and 65 points to finish 6th in the Eastern Conference. However the Troops would fall four straight in the first round of the playoffs to the Niagara Ice Dogs. Battalion captain Stephon Thorne would score two of just three goals scored by the Battalion in the four-game series. OA Forward Scott Tanski led the team with 47 points in the regular season.
