OIAA Men's Ice Hockey Tournament
The Ontario Intercollegiate Athletic Association ice hockey tournament was an annual conference championship held between member teams. History With college hockey expanding in Canada throughout the 1950s, many colleges in Ontario were looking to establish themselves but faced a difficult challenge. The major programs of the day would not have given their newer, smaller counterparts much room with which to grow. An intermediate league, the Ottawa–St. Lawrence Conference, had already been formed but many other programs did not want to take on the expense of travelling several hundred miles for second-tier collegiate games. By 1958, enough programs were operating in southern Ontario to form a new intermediate league. The Ontario Intercollegiate Athletic Association began with five teams around the western edge of Lake Ontario. The league remained unchanged for four years when two teams left for the top tier Quebec–Ontario Athletic Association. In their place, five new programs ...

In 1971, the three conferences in Ontario and Quebec were realigned according to provincial lines and the OSLC ceased to exist.

QOAA Men's Ice Hockey Tournament
The Quebec–Ontario Athletic Association ice hockey tournament was an annual conference championship held between member teams. History Early years In 1902, three colleges reached an agreement and formed the first collegiate ice hockey conference in Canada. McGill, Queen's and Toronto arranged to play one another on a consistent annual basis to determine which among them was the best college team. At the time, all three continued to participate in other senior leagues but this was the first formal differentiation for college programs. At the start of the conference, a provision was made for a playoff to determine the conference champions but only if there was a tie at the top of the standings. The Canadian Intercollegiate Athletic Union (CIAU) continued as a three-team circuit for several years until Laval–Montreal joined in 1907. A year later, the league was one of the circuits that was allowed to participate for the inaugural Allan Cup, which was eventually won by Queen's ...
