The Carabins cheerleading team was created in 2002 at the same time as the rebirth of the Carabins football team. The team has hosted Super Bowl parties in order to finance its activities.[5]
Football
The Carabins football program was originally in operation from 1966 to 1971, but was cut following a philosophical change with intercollegiate athletics among Quebec universities at the time.[6] As that perception changed, the football team was reinstated in 2002 and has been in continuous operation since. The team has won three Dunsmore Cup conference championships (2014, 2015, and 2019) and one Vanier Cup national championship (2014).[7]
