The QUAA was formed when the OSLC, OIAA, and QOAA folded after the 1970-71 season. Loyola College, UQTR Patriotes, Bishop's Gaiters, University of Sherbrooke, RMC Paladins, and Sir George Williams Georgians came from the OSLC. McGill University and University of Montreal came from the QOAA. The remaining QOAA, OSLC, and OIAA teams were from Ontario and joined the OUAA.
