The Western Ontario Hockey League was a junior ice hockey league in Ontario, Canada, sanctioned by the Ontario Hockey Association from 1969 until 2007. As of 2007, the league has become a division of the newly formed Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League. For the 2007-08 season, the WOHL, the Mid-Western Junior Hockey League and Golden Horseshoe Junior Hockey League, operated as three divisional leagues in one league with separate but cooperative governing bodies. In 2008 the three leagues were dissolved and became divisions in the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League under one governing body. In essence, this was the WOHL's final season.

Famous quotes containing the words western and/or league:
“The Oriental philosophy approaches easily loftier themes than the modern aspires to; and no wonder if it sometimes prattle about them. It only assigns their due rank respectively to Action and Contemplation, or rather does full justice to the latter. Western philosophers have not conceived of the significance of Contemplation in their sense.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
“Forward the Light Brigade!”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
