Changes: Ontario Colleges Athletic Association

Revision as of 02:48, 21 March 2020

Overview

The Ontario Colleges Athletic Association (OCAA) is the governing body for collegiate sports in Ontario. The OCAA's Men's Hockey League ran from 1967 until 2004 when it ran out of viable teams. The OCAA's Women's Hockey League ran a brief time in the 1970s and 80s.

The OCAA is affiliated with the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association (CCAA), the second tier of university/college sport in Canada. The CCAA has not held a national hockey playoff since 2001. However, the British Columbia Intercollegiate Hockey League (BCIHL) is open to college teams and the Réseau du sport étudiant du Québec (RSEQ) operates a league of mostly Cégep teams.

The OCAA is separate from Ontario University Athletics (the OUA), which is affiliated with U Sports, formerly known as the CIS.

The last surviving OCAA team was the St. Clair Saints. After the OCAA folded its men's hockey league, the Saitns continued to play an independent schedule for two seasons followed by two seasons in Ontario's Senior AAA Major League Hockey. The team folded after the 2007-08 season.

Since the demise of the OCAA, several former OCAA and current OUA schools and campuses have entered teams in the Ontario Colleges Committee on Campus Recreation (OCCCR). That is a series of tournaments run on an "extra-mural" basis.
