The Ontario Hockey League (OHL) is one of the three Major Junior ice hockey leagues which constitute the Canadian Hockey League. The league is for players aged 15–20.

The OHL also operates under the Ontario Hockey Federation (OHF) of Hockey Canada.

The league was formed in 1974, out of the Major Junior A Tier I division of the Ontario Hockey Association.

For the first four seasons of the league's existence (as the Ontario Major Junior Hockey League), Clarence "Tubby" Schmalz was the league's commissioner. Then, for one season (1978-79), former IHL commissioner Bill Beagan served as commissioner of the OMJHL. Beginning with the 1979-80 season, David Branch has been the Commissioner of the OHL (which became the league's official name prior to the 1981-82 season). Branch was appointed on August 11, 1979, and assumed the commissioner's role on September 17, 1979. Since 1980 the league has grown rapidly into a high profile marketable product, with many games broadcast on television and radio.

There are currently 20 teams in the OHL; 17 are based in the Canadian province of Ontario, two teams in the American state of Michigan and one team in the American state of Pennsylvania. Out of the 17 teams based in Ontario, 12 teams are in Southern Ontario, two teams are in Eastern Ontario and 3 teams are in Northern Ontario.

The three largest arenas in the OHL are Ottawa's Canadian Tire Centre, London's Budweiser Gardens, and the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium Complex in Kitchener.

History

Professional leagues for ice hockey in Ontario were first organized in 1890 by the newly created Ontario Hockey Association (OHA). In 1892 the OHA recognized professional junior hockey - referring to skill rather than age. In 1896 the OHA moved to the modern age-limited, non-professional junior hockey concept, distinct from senior and intermediate divisions. Since then the evolution to the Ontario Hockey League has developed through four distinct eras of junior-aged non-professional hockey in Ontario. In 1933, the junior division was divided into two levels, Junior A and Junior B. In 1970 the Junior A level was divided into two levels, Tier I (or Major Junior A) and Tier II (or Minor Junior A). In 1974 the Tier I/Major Junior A group separated from the OHA and became the independent 'Ontario Major Junior Hockey League' (OMJHL). In 1980, the OMJHL became the 'Ontario Hockey League.'

Schedule

The 20 OHL clubs play a 68 game unbalanced schedule, which starts in the third full week of September, running until the third week of March. Ninety per cent (90%) of OHL games are scheduled between Thursday and Sunday to minimize the number of school days missed for its players. Ninety-five per cent (95%) of the players in the league are attending high school or college.

Approximately 20% of players on active rosters in the National Hockey League have come from the OHL, and about 54% of NHL players are alumni of the Canadian Hockey League.

OHL playoffs and Memorial Cup

The J. Ross Robertson Cup is awarded annually to the winner of the Championship Series. The Cup is named for John Ross Robertson, who was president of the Ontario Hockey Association from 1901 to 1905.

The OHL playoffs consist of the top 16 teams in the league, 8 from each conference. The teams play a best-of-seven game series, and the winner of each series advances to the next round. The final two teams eventually compete for the J. Ross Robertson Cup.

The OHL champion then competes with the winners of the Western Hockey League, the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, and the host of the tournament to play for the Memorial Cup, which is awarded to the junior hockey champions of Canada. The host team of the tournament is alternated between the three leagues every season. The most recent OHL team to host the Memorial Cup was the Mississauga St. Michael's Majors in 2011.

Memorial Cup champions

The Memorial Cup has been captured 14 times by OHL/OHA teams since the tournament went to a three-league format in 1972:

2010: Windsor Spitfires 2009: Windsor Spitfires 2005: London Knights 2003: Kitchener Rangers 1999: Ottawa 67's 1993: Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds 1990: Oshawa Generals 1986: Guelph Platers

1984: Ottawa 67's 1982: Kitchener Rangers 1979: Peterborough Petes 1976: Hamilton Fincups 1975: Toronto Marlboros 1973: Toronto Marlboros

The Cup was also won 16 times by OHA teams in the period between 1945 and 1971:

1970: Montreal Junior Canadiens 1969: Montreal Junior Canadiens 1968: Niagara Falls Flyers 1967: Toronto Marlboros 1965: Niagara Falls Flyers 1964: Toronto Marlboros 1962: Hamilton Red Wings 1961: Toronto St. Michael's Majors

1960: St. Catharines Teepees 1956: Toronto Marlboros 1955: Toronto Marlboros 1954: St. Catharines Teepees 1953: Barrie Flyers 1952: Guelph Biltmore Mad Hatters 1951: Barrie Flyers 1947: Toronto St. Michael's Majors

Priority Selection

The Priority Selection was first conducted the summer before the 1969–70 OHA season, with Kitchener selecting Bill Barber first overall. It has been conducted annually since then. Originally the draft was for 17 year old midgets, and each team was permitted to protect 8 midget area players (Toronto was allowed to protect 10 players from its midget sponsored teams). In 1975 the league phased out the area protections, and the 1976 OHA midget draft was the first in which all midget players were eligible. In 1999 the league changed the draft to a bantam age (15 and 16 year old). It is a selection of players who are residents of the province of Ontario, the states of Michigan, Pennsylvania and New York, and other designated U.S. states east of the Mississippi River.

Prior to 2001, the OHL held the Priority Selection in a public forum, such as an arena. Drafts were attended by many players and family members. In 2001, the OHL decided to hold the "draft" via the Internet, greatly reducing the costs the league and its member teams incurred in hosting a public draft. This move reduced the stress and pressure that prospective players faced with a large crowd present.

The Jack Ferguson Award is presented annually to the first overall selection . The award was named in honour of long time OHL scout and former Director of Central Scouting Jack Ferguson.
