Off-season
[edit]Allan Cup
[edit]On May 8, 2024, the Ontario Elite Hockey League announced that OEHL member clubs are now eligible to compete for the Allan Cup, which is Canada's national senior hockey championship.
The "AA" champions will face off against the winners from the ACH in a best-of-three series for the OHA's Senior Hockey Championship.
The winning team will be declared Ontario's Senior Hockey champion and will represent Ontario at the Allan Cup Challenge Tournament.[1]
Expansion Strategy
[edit]On June 24, the OEHL and Allan Cup Hockey held discussions in Kincardine, Ontario that expansion of both leagues is a top priority over the next calendar year.
The OEHL is committed to keeping Senior "AA" hockey true to its roots in small town Ontario. The league will only consider expansion applicants from communities with a population of 20,000 or less.[2]
