History
Prior to the creation of the league, some college teams played with university teams in the women's hockey league of the Quebec Students Sports Federation (QSSF; rebranded as RSEQ in 2010). The Canadian Interuniversity Athletic Union (CIAU; renamed Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) in 2001 and known as U Sports since 2016) organized the first national title for women's ice hockey at the end of the 1997âÂÂ98 CIAU season and two Québécois college teams participated at the tournament: the Saint-Laurent Patriotes and the Dynamiques of Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf.
The was founded in 1999. Nine teams participated in the inaugural season, 1999âÂÂ2000, and the Patriotes du collège St-Laurent won the Playoff Championship title.
In 2020, the league was restructured into two divisions of six teams each with the aim of improving the level of competiion by concentrating the best college players in Division 1, while continuing to provide an option for other players via Division 2.
