Ontario Hockey Association

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Ontario Hockey Association" is also the name of an ice hockey league that played from 1893 to 1906.

The Ontario Hockey Association is the governing body for the majority of Junior and Senior level ice hockey teams in the Province of Ontario. The OHA is sanctioned by the Ontario Hockey Federation along with the Northern Ontario Hockey Association. Other Ontario sanctioning bodies along with the OHF include the Ottawa District Hockey Association and Hockey Northwestern Ontario. The OHA is composed of 4 major tiers of Junior hockey controlled by the OHA: Tier II Junior "A", Junior "B", Junior "C", and Junior Development. There are two major tiers of Senior hockey controlled by the OHA: Senior "AAA", and base registered Senior "AA" and "A" leagues..

Although the Ontario Hockey League used to be a part of the Ontario Hockey Association, the Tier I division separated from the modern OHA in the summer of 1980. Each league currently operates independently of each other with different rules & policies.
