The Western Junior B Hockey League is a Junior "B" ice hockey league in Ontario, Canada, sanctioned by the Ontario Hockey Association. The league's playoff champion will compete with the champions of the Midwestern Junior B Hockey League and Golden Horseshoe Junior B Hockey League for the Sutherland Cup, the Provincial Championship.

The Western had been a part of the Big '10' until 1956, when the Eastern and Western conference were split into separate leagues -- the Eastern becoming the Central, the Western becoming the Western League.

In 1968, the St.Thomas Barons, Sarnia Legionnaires, Guelph Imperials, Chatham Maroons and Brantford Foresters broke away from the Ontario Hockey Association to form a Junior "A" League known as the Western Ontario Junior A Hockey League. A year later, the OHA pulled together a bunch of local teams (the Waterloo Siskins, Stratford Warriors, Sarnia Bees, St.Mary's Lincolns and the London Squires) as well as the return of the Strathroy Rockets (who had joined the Central Junior B league for a season) and formed a new Western Ontario Junior "B" Hockey League. According to the WOJHL history, a re-organization of Ontario's Jr. B hockey teams occurred prior to the 1978/79 and the Western Jr. B Hockey League became one of five divisions of Ontario hockey at that level. Although this marks the birth of the modern Western Ontario Jr. B league, the teams in the league did not change.

From 1999 until 2001, the league changed its name to the Greater Ontario Hockey League in an attempt to drop the "Junior B" designation [1].
