At the women's hockey championship the defending champions from McGill University will be the team to beat. The Martlets are attempting to become only the second team in CIS history to win three straight national titles.
Out West in Kamloops it is another Quebec-based school that assumes the mantle of favourites at the men's volleyball championship. The Laval Rouge et Or are attempting to become the first school from outside Canada West to win the title since 1994.
