Québec Capitales
In April 2021, the league announced that the Québec Capitales, Trois-Rivières Aigles, and Ottawa Titans would not compete in the 2021 season due to the prolonged closure of the Canada–United States border as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The Aigles and Capitales later joined forces to form a new team that will compete as a member of the Atlantic Division. Known as "Équipe Québec", they began the season as a traveling team, and starting on July 30, 2021, will start hosting home games in Québec following a loosening in border restrictions.
