History
The league originated as the OHA Intermediate C Hockey League in the 1970s, became the Northern Intermediate B Hockey League in the 1980s and merged with the Central Senior B Hockey League in the late 1980s, before folding due to lack of interest in 1993. In 1986-87, the league, with a few other local teams turned into the Georgian Bay Senior A and Georgian Bay Senior B Leagues - this lasted for one season. Two teams from this league, the Elora Rocks and Shelburne Muskies, still actively exist in the WOAA Senior AA Hockey League.
