The Hockey collégial féminin RSEQ is an amateur women's ice hockey league in Quebec, Canada. The former name of the League was Ligue de hockey féminin collégial AA. In autumn 2011, the names of different Leagues by letters AA and A within the Quebec Student Sports Federation are changed[1] · .[2] The Hockey collégial féminin RSEQ is considered to be the highest level of young women's ice hockey in the Quebec collegiate system. The league has a wide range of talent from pre-university programs and is sanctioned by Hockey Quebec (Fédération québécoise de hockey sur glace) and the Quebec Student Sports Federation.

The Hockey Collégial féminin RSEQ is a development league serving as springboard towards the university women's ice hockey and afterward towards the professional level.

History[]

Prior to the existence of the League, some collegial teams played with university teams in the Quebec University Women's Hockey League (QSSF).[3][4][5] The first-ever Canadian Interuniversity Athletic Union (CIAU) National title for women's ice hockey was held at the end of the 1997-98 CIAU season and two Québécois college teams participated at the tournament:[6] Cégep St-Laurent[7] and Collège Jean-de-Brébeuf. The Ligue de hockey féminin collégial AA was founded in 1999 to provide opportunities for young females to develop into collegiate student-athletes. It was developed to bring together teams that regularly produce players for competition at the Canadian Interuniversity Sport women's ice hockey championship and NCAA National Collegiate Women's Ice Hockey Championship levels, respectively. The inaugural season was in 1999-2000, and the Patriotes du collège St-Laurent won the Playoff Championship title.[8] A national championship for college athletics in Canada was approved at the advent of the 2001-02 season.
