The second annual Canada Cup (then, Canadian Cup) was hosted by Queen's University where McGill, Carleton and uOttawa emerged victorious, being granted spots at the sixth World Cup. Due to distance, none of the western teams can make it to the Canada Cup and begin a close relationship with American teams. UBC, in February 2013, travelled to the Western Cup, the regional championship for the IQA along the west coast of the United States held in Sacramento, where they did not advance to the second day. In March, quidditch expands within BC with the Cascadia Cup being held in Vancouver by UBC where the Burnaby Boggarts (being formed in January 2013) and UVic face off. At the same time, the University of Northern British Columbia begin holding practices, but the team soon withers away due to lack of local competition. In the east, teams start up on the University of Toronto's Mississauga campus and at York University. For the sixth World Cup in Kissimmee, Florida, three Canadian teams travel there to compete (uOttawa, Fleming College and U of T). At the same time, the teams of University of Calgary and University of Alberta meet for the first time by showcasing quidditch at the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo.
