History

The Ontario Intercollegiate Athletic Association was a second tier university athletic conference which began play in 1958-59. It was made up of smaller universities which could not compete in size with the other schools in Ontario. In 1964-65 the league was allowed to send its champion to the national championship.
The conference ended in 1970-71. In 1971-72 its remaining teams (Laurentian, Waterloo Lutheran, Ryerson, Brock, and York) merged into the Ontario Universities Athletic Association (OUAA) once the Ontario and Quebec conferences were re-organized along provincial lines.
Wikia has OIAA records commencing in 1964-65. Links are needed for the 1958-59 to 1963-64 seasons. The Ryerson Alumni Site claims that Ryerson won titles in 1959 and 1963. Other sources for those seasons are required.
