The dispute ended when the OHF was established, with equal representation for the OHA, Northern Ontario Hockey Association, MTHL, and OMHA.

OHA president Brent Ladds was named executive director of the OHF, which was given the mandate to oversee hockey in Ontario, and be a review panel for three years to propose further restructuring if necessary.

The trophy is awarded at the Dudley Hewitt Cup tournament to the winner of the round robin game between the Ontario Junior Hockey League champion and the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League champion.

In the past, the now defunct Metro Junior A Hockey League's champion also competed for the trophy.
