Playoff non-qualifiers:
Bishop’s Gaiters: Arnold Dolphin, Mike Dudgeon, Bill Stinnie, Steve Etcheverry, Steve Taylor, Grant Younger. The Gaiters were found to have used five out-of-country players during the campaign, breaching a league rule that allowed only three such players. For the purposes of the league, a player was deemed out of country if he had played a game outside of Canada. Dolphin, Stinnie and Taylor had played for Champlain College on a road trip to Vermont the previous year. CIAU rules did not include players who’d played for a Canadian team as being among the number of limited imports. Quebec rules viewed those players as having been “trained” abroad because of their participation on foreign soil.
U.Q.T.R. Patriotes: Pierre Benoit, Berthi Desrochers, Rock Turcotte, Andre Vallerand, Robert Vallerand; coach Yvan DeMarche
In the semis, Sir George Williams thrashed Laval 105-76 as Mike Moore scored 39, Zan Pelzer 29 and Carl Whitfield 22. The Georgians led 50-45 at the half and took command with a 11-0 run to open the second frame. Andre Charron led the Rouge et Or with 18. Gilles Bellemare added 11 and Jean Gauthier 10.
In the other semi, Loyola crushed McGill 109-74 after leading 49-38 at the half. But the Warriors took command with a 16-2 run to open the second half. Doug Merlin paced the Warriors with 20. John Erglis added 15, Jack Kalinkewicz 14, Andy Cheam 12, John Dore 11, Ron Puskarich 11 and Bob Brix 9. The Warriors led 49-38 at the half. Cliff Bochner led the Redmen with 18. Art McMillan added 17. McMillan told the Montreal Gazeete “even their little guys are good.” Redmen coach Butch Staples said “I’m disappointed that the heart didn’t seem to be there. Loyola exploited our weakness but we never really seemed to be in it.”
In the final, the Loyola Warriors defeated Sir George Williams 72-61 as Ron Puskarich scored 18, Bob Brix 17, John Dore 13, Doug Merlin 12 and John Erglis 10. Mike Moore led the Georgians with 21. Zan Pelzer added 16 and Carl Whitfield 12. Warriors coach Doug Daigneault told the Montreal Gazette that “discipline. That’s what did it. The team played really together … Ron Puskarich and Doug Merlin did super jobs. (John) Erglis just controlled the game and (John) Dore, well, he was really outstanding. We denied them the four corners and we haven’t done that well before. If we could force them to shoot outside, we’d be okay.” The Warriors led 32-29 at the half. Erglis said “that press, we were really going after (Carl) Whitfield. He controls it and when he’s stopped, it leaves Moore and Pelzer in a lot of trouble.” Georgians coach Mike Hickey said “we didn’t have enough patience. We had a bad first half and I thought we’d come around in the second. But they did everything right. We lost because Loyola played great.”
Loyola College and Sir George Williams merged to become Concordia after the season.
