2023-24 OMHAAAAHL season

This is the 2023-24 OMHA AAA Hockey League season. This is the league's first season after the Eastern AAA Hockey League and the South-Central Triple A Hockey League are merged. Both leagues previously played seperately under the Ontario Minor Hockey Association. The league also has programs for minor hockey in younger age groups and at lower levels that were reorganized as well.
==Membership Changes==
*The Richmond Hill Coyotes withdrew.
*The Buffalo Regals return to play after being unable to play since the 2020-21 season due to issues caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
*As part of the re-organization of the two leagues, several teams at various levels were consolidated or merged with other teams to form new teams. The Hamilton Jr. Bulldogs are combined with the Hamilton Kilty B's of Alliance Hockey to form the Hamilton Steel. The new organization is based out of the Dave Andreychuk Mountain Arena & Skating Centre after preiously being from the Gateway Ice Centre in Stoney Creek and the Chedoke Twin Pad Arena in Hamilton respectively. The team would revert to the Kilty B's moniker by the time the season began.
