- Quidditch is a growing team sport in Canada. Due to its relative youth within the sports scene of Canada, adoption is not as widespread as other sports such as rugby or ultimate. However, adoption is picking up with additional university and community teams each year. As a result of its inclusivity and its many niche styles of play, a wider spectrum of individuals are drawn to this sport than other mainstream sports. For the moment, the majority of teams are based in Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia and Alberta, but teams are rapidly starting up in Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia and Manitoba. Quidditch Canada is the governing body for the sport across the country; there are no associations within Quidditch Canada that govern provincially/territorially. Outside of the United States, Canada has had the fastest and most fervent adoption of the sport since its creation in 2005 at Middlebury College in Vermont. The first teams began in Quebec and Ontario in 2009, often sending teams to the US "World Cup". Nowadays, there are about 500 players across the country registered with Quidditch Canada, all belonging to either community or university-affiliated teams. Canada is one of the top nations in the world in regards to quidditch, coming in third place at the international level at the 2014 IQA Global Games and hosting one of the most developed National Governing Bodies (NGB).
