Eastern AAA Hockey League

right|200px|ETA Emblem
The Eastern AAA Hockey League was a minor level ice hockey governing body. The league is a sub-division of the Ontario Minor Hockey Association in the Canadian Province of Ontario. The ETA playoffs are done in a best 3 out of 5 series. The final two teams advance to the OMHA Championships. It was established in 1990.
The league was merged with fellow OMHA member South Central AAA Hockey League to form the OMHA AAA Hockey League. As a result of the merger the league's playoffs would replace the former OMHA Midget AAA Playoffs and give the new league a true playoff champion as the old leagues would each have four qualifiers for the tournament to decide the Central Regional qualifier tournament for the National Championship event.
