Ontario University Athletics women's ice hockey

The Ontario University Athletics (OUA) came into being in 1997 with the merger of the Ontario Universities Athletics Association and the Ontario Women's Intercollegiate Athletics Association. This is similar to what would be called a college athletic conference in the United States,such as the Big Ten or Atlantic Coast Conference.  The league was directly preceeded by the Women's Intercollegiate Athletic Union which ran from 1921 until being replaced by the OWIAA in 1971.  The league was then replaced by the OUA Women's league;  which started play with the 1997-98 season.
