Coming into the tournament, the reigning champion Trinity Western Spartans highlight the list, as Canada West Champions, and the number one seed. The Alberta Golden Bears (Canada West Silver Medalists) follow closely as the two seed. Spots three through seven are taken by UBC (Canada West Bronze Medalists), Montreal (RSEQ Champions), McMaster (Host/ OUA Champions), UNB (AUS Champions), and the Queen’s Gaels respectively.
