Recent results

A. Concordia originally finished in second place with a 5–3 record in 2001 and hosted a QIFC semi-final playoff game to third-place McGill, losing 11–8. However, Laval used an ineligible player throughout the entire season and vacated all regular season wins, giving Concordia a 7–1 record and a first place regular season finish albeit well after the 2001 season had concluded.
B. Bishop's and Concordia both used ineligible players in the same game, so the game was declared "no contest" in a double forfeit.
C. A 2017 game between the Montreal Carabins and Stingers was cancelled due to Montreal players and coaching staff members exhibiting flu symptoms. Due to scheduling constraints, the game was outright cancelled and would not be rescheduled. Montreal and Concordia would only play seven games as a result and winning percentage would be counted in the standings as opposed to point totals.
