The WOAA Senior Hockey League is an amateur senior ice hockey league governed by the Western Ontario Athletic Association under the Ontario Hockey Association and Hockey Canada. The league is based in Southern Ontario, Canada. The league has been in existence since 1948 and has entertained large crowds with local former Junior Hockey players and the odd former professional player. The league is rather large and features teams of both Senior "AA" and Senior "A" calibre. None of these teams could financially compete with the Senior "AAA" teams that compete for the Allan Cup, but all garner enough skill to match the excitement.
