In their second season (2010-11), the team ranked in second place in the Québécois conference behind McGill Martlets.[1] In the 2011 playoffs, the Carabins eliminated the Concordia Stingers[2] but the Carabins are in turn to eliminate in finale by McGill.[2] In their second season, they did not qualify for the CIS Canadian championships.
