Quadball Canada
Quadball Canada (formerly known as Quidditch Canada) is the governing body that oversees quadball (formerly quidditch) within Canada under its mother organization, the International Quadball Association. In August 2022, QC announced plans to rebrand with the new name Quadball in 2023.
Quadball Canada was founded July 1, 2014, to administer and organize the sport of quadball in Canada after the relaunch of the original International Quadball Association as US Quidditch. The organization is a Registered Canadian Amateur Athletic Association and has grown to include over 20 teams across the country.
Quadball Canada is the National Governing Body for quadball in Canada. There are director-led departments for Membership, Gameplay, Communications, Events, and Volunteers. The structure is expected to change slightly in the near future, potentially moving to a policy board governance model, in order to comply with regulatory requirements for recognition by Sport Canada and to enable better communication with members and engagement with volunteers.
With the advent of Quadball Canada, there has been an increase in the number of teams across the country, enabling more play between Canadian teams. Teams from the US and Canada occasionally cross the border for tournaments in order to increase the diversity of competition. Canada is split into two regions, Eastern Canada and Western Canada, at the Ontario/Manitoba border. These regions feature annual regional championships and other tournaments, both official and fantasy, throughout the year. The highest level of competition is the annual Quadball Canada national championship. The biggest annual Canadian fantasy tournament is the Canada Day Fantasy Tournament (CDFT), an open fantasy tournament held the weekend before Canada Day in Ottawa, Ontario.
The first national championship was held in Burnaby, B.C. at Swanguard Stadium on March 28–29, 2015. This event attracted eight teams from across Canada, and included an exhibition game between McGill Quidditch and US Quidditch member team UBC Quidditch. The championship was won by the Avengers who beat McGill Quidditch 40*-30 in cold, wet, and muddy conditions.
Prior to 2015, the Eastern Canada Regional Championship, known at the time as the Canadian Cup, had often been considered the unofficial national championship for Canadian quadball.
The 2016-2017 QC Nationals were held on April 1–2, 2017 at University of Victoria. This was Quadball Canada's third national championship. Victoria is the home of Western Canada's original quadball team, the UVic Valkyries. The championship was won by the Edmontors Aurors Quidditch Club who defeated the University of Guelph Gryphons, with Valhalla finishing third after defeating University of British Columbia ThunderBirds.
For both the 2017-2018 and 2018–2019 seasons the Nationals Championship was held in Hamilton, Ontario at two different venues. For the 2017–2018 season the host was Tim Horton's Field home of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Followed by the 2018–2019 season in which McMaster University was the host. This was the first instance of the National championship remaining in not only the same region for 2 consecutive years but also the first instance of a repeat host city despite the change in venue.
