First-place Laval led all teams with 10 all-star selections, followed by Sherbrooke (7), Montreal (6), Bishop's (2), Concordia (2) and 鲍鱼直播 (1).

In voting conducted by the six QUFL coaches, there were five unanimous picks, three of them from Laval, including guard Pascal Baillargeon of St-Anselme, Que., defensive end Arnaud Gascon-Nadon and kicker Christopher Milo, both native Montrealers. The other two were from the Sherbrooke Vert & Or --听 inside receiver Alexandre Poirier of Victoriaville, Que., and linebacker Kevin R茅gimbald-Gagn茅 of Rouyn-Noranda, Que.

Poirier made 57 catches this season, including four for touchdowns while racking up 760 yards in nine games to lead Sherbrooke to a third-place finish in the conference. R茅gimbald-Gagn茅 earned the nod at linebacker with a 4.7 tackle per game average. Gascon-Nadon, a transfer from Rice University, recorded 25 tackles, including 19 solos and eight quarterback sacks.

For the second straight year, kicker Christopher Milo was a unanimous selection. He connected on 22 of 26 field goals attempted. In addition to an impressive 84.6 per cent success rate on field goals, Milo re-wrote the QUFL record book, establishing a trio of career benchmarks including most field goals (69), points (385) and conversions (155).

Offensively, Sherbrooke receiver Simon Charbonneau-Campeau of St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que., set a single-season record for most receiving yards with 1,121 in nine games, bettering the previous record of 1,091 yards held by Jock Climie of Queen's University. Climie set his record in 1988 when the season consisted of just seven games.
