OHL is the Ontario hockey league. It's the highest level of junior hockey in Canada for players from Ontario. WHL is the Western Hockey League. Exact same thing but for players from BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba (provinces of Canada). Both of these leagues, along with the QMJHL make up the CHL.

NCAA is college hockey in the states.

In order to play in the CHL, you must be 16, or if a player is very good, they can play for their hometown team for one season at the age of 15, but must entre the draft the following year. The oldest you be be is 20/21(depends of birthdate). In order to play in the NCAA, you just have to attend college, I don't know if there's a maximum age.
