The 2012–13 OJHL season is the 19th season of the Ontario Junior Hockey League (OJHL) and the third since the league existed as two separate bodies in 2009–10. The twenty-two teams of the North, South, East and West Divisions will play 55-game schedules.

Come February, the top teams of each division will play down for the Frank L. Buckland Trophy, the OJHL championship. The winner of the Buckland Cup will compete in the Central Canadian Junior "A" championship, the Dudley Hewitt Cup. If successful against the winners of the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League and Superior International Junior Hockey League, the champion would then move on to play in the Canadian Junior Hockey League championship, the 2013 Royal Bank Cup.

Award winners

Central Canada Cup Challenge

The second annual Central Canada Cup Challenge is an interleague all-star tournament hosted by Wellington, Ontario. The event runs December 27–29, 2012. The name of the event has been slightly altered from the 2011 event, probably in response to the creation of the Western Canada Cup by their rival Western leagues.
