The '''2011 [[Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament]]''' was an under-18 [[ice hockey]] tournament held in [[Břeclav]], [[Czech Republic]] and [[Piešťany]], [[Slovakia]] from August 8–13, 2011.  As in [[2010 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament|2010]], the venues were [[Alcaplast Arena]] in Břeclav and [[Patrícia Ice Arena 37]] in Piešťany. Canada won gold for the fourth consecutive year, defeating Sweden 4–1 in the final after losing to them 5–1 in their opening game. After their championship win, Canadian head coach Steve Spott attributed their success to a balanced attack in the absence of any one superstar.<ref>{{cite news|title=Canada 4 - Sweden 1|url=http://www.hockeycanada.ca/index.php/ci_id/75138/la_id/1/game_id/171231/season_id/171159/ss_id/170371/|accessdate=2011-08-14|date=2011-08-13|publisher=[[Hockey Canada]]|agency=Canadian Press}}</ref>
