The Northwest Hockey Conference was established in 1977 and was comprised of the following seven original member schools: Findlay, Bowling Green, St. John’s, St. Francis, Sylvania Northview, Sylvania Southview, Centerville.

Four of the key founding members of the league were Joe Czernicki (Athletic Director, St. John’s High School), Marv Dunn (Teacher and faculty advisor for Bowling Green High School’s hockey program), Mike Root (Coach, Findlay High School), and Cosimo Figliomeni (Coach, St. John’s High School).

In 2002, teams from the Greater Toledo High School Hockey League merged with the NHC, leading to Red/White/Blue divisions.

Another big change happened in 2019 when the NHC re-structured into two 7-team Red & White divisions.
