There are many, many different leagues and skill levels. You can’t really put them in order. All you need to know is the NHL is the best.

MITES
to NHL

you are right with what you have except that the OHL is a league that is considered Junior A. There are many Junior A and B leagues and you can’t really rank them but the OHL is very good and that is where most NHL prospects are drafted from. This list is more like it:
House
Travel (A and AA)
AAA
Junior B
Junior A
Federal Hockey League
South East Hockey League
Southern Professional Hockey League
United Hockey League
East Coast Hockey League
Central Hockey League
American Hockey League
National Hockey League
This is in order from worst to best.
House and Travel are youth (18 and under)
AAA starts in youth and goes to age 18
Juniors are 15-20 years old
and then you are either drafted or go play go college. Federal Leauge starts the whole minor league rankings but no one who plays in the NHL plays in that league. They usually start out in the American Hockey League.

It depends on where you play. Canada and the United States have completely different standards and divisions. Where I play it goes:
Novice
Mini-Mite
Mite Minor
Mite Major
Squirt Minor
Squirt Major
Bantam Minor
Mantam Major
Midget I/II
Midget Mohl
High School Hockey
College Hockey(D1, D2, D3)
Then their are various juinor leagues with different levels, A, B, C.
The top leagues go NHL then AHL, but the other minor leagues are pretty much same skill level. Some leagues are OHL, QMJHL, IHL, USHL, etc.
