What follows is a list of national and provincial associations, federal and provincial leagues, and other developments leagues in order of their age.
Amateur Development Associations/Leagues | Years | Age |
---|---|---|
Ontario Hockey Association | 1890 to now | 134 years old |
Manitoba Hockey Association | 1892 to now | 132 years old |
Amateur Hockey Association of Canada (Quebec)* | 1887 to 1898 | 12 years old |
AHAC Intermediate Division | 1892 to 1898 | 6 years old |
* Note that Quebec as the birthplace of Ice Hockey, did not have a named provincial association to govern its teams and leagues. Further research will be required to investigate why this was the case. I can only speculate that the AHAC functioned in that capacity since that league was dominated by Quebec-based teams. – Al
