History

Prior to the existence of the League, some collegial teams played with university teams in the Quebec University Women's Hockey League (QSSF). 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: Cégep St-Laurent 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
