Ontario Women's Hockey Association

The Association was formed in 1975 by Cookie Cartwright to generate interest in women's ice hockey.

[citation needed] Roughly ten years later, Fran Rider became the association's executive director.

In 1976, Rhonda Leeman Taylor took on a volunteer position with the OWHA and helped the Association grow the number of registered female teams from 101 to 203, within three years.

The OWHA operates independently from the OHF's other member associations that govern the various levels of men's hockey.
