The league was created in 2007 through the merging of the Western Ontario Hockey League, Mid-Western Junior Hockey League, and Golden Horseshoe Junior Hockey League to dissuade perceived "player raiding" from teams in the then-Ontario Provincial Junior A Hockey League. The twenty-four teams of the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League come from Southwestern Ontario and the Golden Horseshoe.
