The Northern Ontario Hockey Association is minor and junior level ice hockey governing body. The NOHA is sanctioned by the Ontario Hockey Federation and Hockey Canada. The major league run by the NOHA is the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League of the Canadian Junior A Hockey League. There used to be a Junior "B" league called the North of Superior Junior B Hockey League, but it went defunct in 2004. There was also a NOHA Jr. B League, but it became the NOJHL in 1978. The International Junior B Hockey League existed for many years as well.
The NOHA was founded in 1919 and that same year became affiliated with the Ontario Hockey Association. Decades later, that affiliation was broken but both now operate under the Ontario Hockey Federation.

Famous quotes containing the words northern and/or association:
“Our ancestors were savages. The story of Romulus and Remus being suckled by a wolf is not a meaningless fable. The founders of every state which has risen to eminence have drawn their nourishment and vigor from a similar wild source. It was because the children of the Empire were not suckled by the wolf that they were conquered and displaced by the children of the northern forests who were.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The aim of every political association is the preservation of the natural and imprescriptible rights of man. These rights are liberty, property, security and resistance to oppression.”
—French National Assembly. Declaration of the Rights of Man (drafted and discussed August 1789, published September 1791)
