The recipient must be or have been actively engaged in junior hockey. The Bill Long Award is not awarded annually, but rather bestowed upon notable achievements over time, as noted by the OHL board of governors. The award was initiated in 1989 to commemorate the efforts and contributions of Bill Long, spanning over three decades as a coach and manager of the Niagara Falls Flyers, Ottawa 67's, and the London Knights.<ref name="ohlawards">{{cite web|url=http://ontariohockeyleague.com/ohl-awards/|title=OHL Awards|website=Ontario Hockey League|publisher=Canadian Hockey League|access-date=2017-12-24}}</ref>
