They made it to the finals of the CAIS National Tournament, won the Montreal Independent School Tournament, City Championships and the provincial title.
2/ Prep Hoc key
After finishing in fourth place in the standings, an inspired playoff run propelled the Prep Hockey team to the M18 D1 league championship. They competed in the provincial tournament, where they made it to the quarterfinals but lost to the eventual champions in a tightly played game.
