[edit] History
The EOJBHL was founded in 1967 as the Rideau-St. Lawrence Junior "B" Hockey League. Through a merger with the Upper Ottawa Valley Junior "B" Hockey League and the folding of the Lanark-Renfrew Junior "C" Hockey League, the league has grown to 22 different teams. The EOJBHL is the biggest Junior "B" league in all of Canada and is the only Junior "B" league in the Ottawa District Hockey Association.
The EOJBHL is broken up into two traditional conferences that operate separately of each other. Each conference has two divisions. Each conference has its own commissioner and each one operates under variable rules allowed by the ODHA. Each division plays off to declare its own champion, after which the four champion teams play-off for the Metro/Valley Championship and Rideau/St. Lawrence Championship. The winner of these two championships playoff in a best-of-7 series for the D. Arnold Carson Memorial Trophy, the EOJBHL crown. The Metro Division champion has gone on to win the last seven EOJBHL championships.
In the playoffs, the Shawville Pontiacs and Gatineau Mustangs are both eligible and compete in Hockey Quebec's Coupe Dodge Junior "AA" Championships. Gatineau was the host of the 2006 Coupe Dodge.
