First place overall, 1938–1958

List of teams finishing first place in the OHA Junior A tier from 1933 to 1958.{{cite web|url=http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/leagues/167.html|title=Ontario Hockey League history and statistics|website=hockeydb.com|access-date=2018-01-03|quote=}} From 1933 to 1938, Junior A team played in separate groups with an uneven number of games, so there is no accurate depiction of first place in the regular season.
