The UQAC Inuk (Template:Langx) are the athletic teams that represent the Université du Québec à Chicoutimi in Saguenay, Quebec, Canada. The university features teams in hockey, cross-country, track and field, and volleyball. UQAC became the 57th member of U Sports in 2023, having last competed in the league in 1986.[2]

History

The athletic program at UQAC began in 1970 with the formation of the men's hockey team.[3] The team's moniker, Inuk, is an Inuit word for human being.[2] The men's hockey team was a member of the CIAU until 1986 when it disbanded.[4] On June 13, 2023, it was announced that UQAC had been accepted as the 57th member of U Sports on a two-year probation.[2] The Inuk men's and women's cross country, men's track and field, and women's volleyball began competition in the 2023–24 season.[2] The men's ice hockey team would be eligible to join in the 2025–26 season, pending the approval for full membership in June 2025.[2][5]

Men's hockey

The Inuk men's ice hockey team originally competed in the CIAU from 1976 to 1986 until the program was disbanded following the 1985–86 season.[2][4][6] The program returned in 2022 after test matches were played in the previous year, led by head coach, Simon Gaudreault, where 12 exhibition games were scheduled.[4] An RSEQ Division 2 was created for the 2023–24 season where the Inuk were inaugural members.[7]

Women's volleyball

The Inuk women's volleyball program has been a member of the RSEQ Division 1 since the 2023–24 season.[8] The team previously competed in the RSEQ Division 2 after it was established for the 2010–11 season.[9][10] The team won RSEQ Division 2 championships in 2016 and 2022.[10][11] The team is led by head coach Stéphane Gilbert.[12]
