In 2006, both team won the gold medal in the national chamionship, the boys team winning after trailing by 19 points at the half against the home team of the tournament.Momo also have a football team who will play his first year in the Collégial AAA league, the best in league in Québec, after winning silver medal in the collégial AA league.
It is also known for its improvisation league, the MIM (Mouvement d'Improvisation de Montmorency - Montmorency Improvisation Movement), founded in the seventies, from which emerged a number of largely known (in Quebec) comedians and humorists such as Michel Courtemanche.
Despite Laval being the 3rd largest city of Quebec with a population of nearly 400,000, Montmorency is its only college, as it is not rare for students seeking a better education to prefer crossing the river south and study in Montreal, even though whether or not a given Cégep is better than another one is often highly arguable.
