Football

See main article: Montreal Carabins football. The Carabins football program was originally in operation from 1966 to 1971, but was cut following a philosophical change with intercollegiate athletics among Quebec universities at the time.[6] As that perception changed, the football team was reinstated in 2002 and has been in continuous operation since. The team has won five Dunsmore Cup conference championships (2014, 2015, 2019, 2021 and 2023) and two Vanier Cups national championship (2014, 2023).[7]
