[edit] History

In 1968, a league known as the Western Ontario Junior B Hockey League broke away from the Ontario Hockey Association to form a Junior "A" League. A year later, the OHA pulled together a bunch of local teams and formed a new Western Ontario Junior "B" Hockey League. In 1971, the League absorbed the Central Junior "B" Hockey League. The Central had been a part of the Big '10' until 1956, when the Eastern and Western conference were split into league -- the Eastern becoming the Central, the Western becoming the renegade Western League.
