2015-16 GMJHL Season

This is the 2015-16 Greater Metro Junior A Hockey League season.  This is the league's 10th season.
The league issued a press release on January 18, 2016 stating that 22 teams will qualify for the playoffs. However, the same release says that the top seven teams in each division automatically qualify for the playoffs while any team that finished lower than 7th will play a series of elimination games to determine the final seed.  The regular season is scheduled to end on February 14th.
==Membership Changes==
*The league added the Bobcaygeon Storm, Brantford Steelfighters, Colborne Chiefs, Coldwater Falcons, Feversham based Grey County Grizzlies, Haliburton Wolves Komoka Dragons, Kingsville Kings, London Lakers, Simcoe based Norfolk Vikings, and the Oshawa Riverkings as expansion teams
*The Cambridge Bears  and Rama Aces announced that they were sitting out the 2015-16 season.
*The Brantford Steelfighters folded in either late October or early November. The team had a record of 2-16-0-0-4 28-131 which included a 3-0 forfeit loss on November 3rd.  The team also appears to have forfeited another game to Toronto Ice Jets on October 10th.
*The Grey County Grizzlies folded mid-season.
*The Sturgeon Falls Lumberjacks suspended operations for the balance of the 2015-16 season sometime in late January (either the 30th or 31st as no date was on the press release) citing player injuries and a heavy school workload due to many of the players attending Nipissing University which had a faculty strike earlier in the school year and lead to a heavier school schedule due to a shorter school year.  The ownership also issued in the same statement that they are taking the next few months to evaluate its' situation and make a decision on returning for the 2016-17 season.  The teams last game was played on January 29th.  The team forfeited a January 30th game to Parry Sound 3-0, which gave the team an 11-25-1 record at the time of their withdrawal.
