Réseau du sport étudiant du Québec



The Réseau du sport étudiant du Québec (RSEQ, literal translation: Quebec Student Sports Network) is a conference in U Sports (formerly known as "CIS"). The RSEQ does not operate a men's hockey league. The other current conferences in U Sports are the Canada West Universities Athletic Association (CWUAA), Ontario University Athletics (OUA), and Atlantic University Sport (AUS).

The RSEQ was formerly known as the Quebec Student Sports Federation (QSSF) in English. It is also the governing body of primary and secondary school, collegiate and university sport in Quebec. It also serves as a regional membership association for Canadian universities and colleges which assists in co-ordinating competition between their university level athletic programs and providing contact information, schedules, results, and releases about those programs and events to the public and the media. This is similar to what would be called a "college athletic conference" in the United States.

The RSEQ is also one regional conference within the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association, the second tier of university/college sport in Canada. The others are the Pacific Western Athletic Association (formerly the British Columbia Colleges Athletic Association), the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference, the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association, and the Atlantic Collegiate Athletic Association.

History
The RSEQ's predecessor was initially known as the Quebec Universities Athletic Association (QUAA) when it was founded in 1971 from the reformulations of three university athletic associations spanning the universities of Ontario and Quebec. (Those were the Quebec-Ontario Athletic Association, the Ottawa-St. Lawrence Conference, and the Ontario Intercollegiate Athletic Association.)

The QUAA ceased to operate a university hockey league after the 1986-87 season. The conference's three remaining teams at that point (McGill Redmen, UQTR Patriotes, and Concordia Stingers) joined, and remain, in the OUA conference.

In 1989 Quebec merged the university, collegiate, and high school governing bodies. The amalgamated association was named the Quebec Student Sports Federation (QSSF). and then renamed RSEQ in November 2010. The RSEQ continues to operate a college and high school hockey leagues.

Facilities
Canadian athletic facilities are often listed by their "maximum capacity", which is often an estimate of their largest recorded crowd in the facility. These maximum capacities can and often do include standing room patrons and attendees seated on grass surrounding a playing field. Seated Capacity is the actual number of permanent seats, be they grandstands or permanently in use bleachers. This is why you will sometimes see larger capacities listed for these sites when searching for them on line. When capacity numbers have mismatched on source sites, unless the larger capacity could be confirmed as a seated capacity, the smaller capacity number has been listed here.

Please update with verified "seated capacities" only when the institutions release more accurate official seated capacities.

(*Laval's PEPS stade extérieur has an official seated capacity of 10,200 although it has held a standing room crowd of over 18,000 and as such is often listed as having a maxiumum capacity of 18,000.)

(Data mined from the CIS homepage's member directory CIS directory and WorldStadiums.com World Stadiums.com. The members directory numbers seem to be ballpark figures in some cases.)
