There was no Canadian championship this year. [1] Initially, the Canadian Rugby Football Union (CRFU) had scheduled a second consecutive All-Star game to be played in Montreal on November 18, 1886. However, the ORFU was opposed and preferred a championship game between their champions and the champions of the QRFU. [1] Additionally, the ORFU was disputing a proposed rule change that would allow for passing the ball back through the scrimmage, which was a significant deviation from rugby football. [1] Consequently, the ORFU informed the QRFU winners, the Montreal Football Club, via telegram on November 15, that they would not be sending a team. [1] At the CRFU annual meeting on November 18, the aforementioned rule change was adopted. [1]
