History

The Eastern Ontario Super Hockey League (EOSHL) is a semi-professional ice hockey league that serves as a competitive platform for players in Eastern Ontario. Established in 2019, the league was created to provide a higher level of play for amateur athletes while promoting community engagement through local teams.

The EOSHL began with a few founding franchises and has since exploded year after year, attracting players from various backgrounds, including former junior, collegiate, and professional levels. The league aims to offer competitive hockey while also fostering community spirit and involvement.

Over the years, the EOSHL has gained popularity, hosting games in local arenas and contributing to regional hockey culture. As of now, the EOSHL continues to grow, emphasizing player development, fan engagement, and the promotion of hockey at the grassroots level in Eastern Ontario.

Jon Zinck and Joshua Rowlands are the current owners. In their first year the league added the Westport Lumberjacks and the Lindsay Barncats while also overseeing the relocation of the new Manotick Mariners and Pontiac Comets franchises.
