In the men's bracket the Toronto Varsity Blues will be looking to defend their 2009 title. They beat the Carleton Ravens by a 14-4 score in Hamilton. The Varsity Blues will lead Group A as they are joined by the York Lions and host Queen's Gaels while the Ravens will lead group B alongside the McMaster Marauders and Western Mustangs.

The women's bracket sees the Carleton Ravens trying to defend their title from one year ago as they topped the women's Varsity Blues squad in a close 6-5 game.
