University Cup

Because the OUA was hosting the tournament and would already receive three bids into the tournament, the rotating wild-card moved to Canada West. In order to prevent both Canada West teams, as well as the Ontario and Quebec entries, from being in the same group, Alberta and UQTR exchanged places.
