The 2020 GMAA Championships were held on Thursday February 13th at Massey Vanier High School in Cowansville, Quebec. The GMAA Championships pits schools from the Greater Montreal Area and its surrounding suburbs in a tournament to determine which school would emerge as champions after a competitive regular season. Loyola High School was looking to defend its League Title that they’ve held in the Juvenile Boys Division I for the previous three years while Beurling Academy, last year’s Juvenile Girls Division I champions looked to repeat as well. The regular season finished off with the following results:
