This is the 1939-40 season of the International Intercollegiate League:
This was the last season of this league. It disbanded mostly due to the outbreak of World War II. However it was proving to be a financial disaster for the Canadian teams who were not attracting good crowds to their home games.
The three Canadian teams - Toronto, McGill, and Queens - won all their games against their American counterparts.
The Canadian teams played fewer games than the Americans because there were fewer Canadian teams. Each team played 1 game against each international opponent and 2 each against domestic opponents.
For the first time McGill did not win the league championship.
