History

The SOJHL was known as the OHA Junior Development Hockey League until the Summer of 2006. The OHAJDL was created from the merging of the Western Junior "D" Hockey League and the Southern Counties Junior "D" Hockey League and absorption of the folded Northern Junior "D" Hockey League. The league carries no official grading like other leagues in the OHA, and acts as the farm system for many local Junior "B" teams. The league has a long history and is the product of the many downsizings of classifications in the OHA.
The winner of the SOJHL's playoffs earns the Ontario Hockey Association Cup, but this may change soon. The skill level of the SOJHL is comparable to the Eastern Ontario Junior C Hockey League. During the summer of 2006, the "Yeck Conference" applied to break off from the league and start their own Junior "C" league, but were turned down by the OHA. A talented and entertaining league, the SOJHL has is a long standing tradition of the OHA in the Southwestern Ontario region.
