Note : le match de barrage entre l'avant dernier D2 (Casalciprano Anjou) et le finaliste perdant de la Coupe des champions provinciaux Saputo AA (Rouyn-Noranda) est inutile puisque Casalciprano Anjou D2 est automatiquement relégué en AA suite à la relégation en D2 de Casalciprano Anjou D1. En conséquence, Rouyn-Noranda monte directement en D2.
