==Playoffs==
===Format===
All teams qualify for the playoffs.  The 4th place team in the north division plays the 5th place team in the south division in a one game playoff with the winner becoming the 4 seed in the north division.  All series with the exception of the elimination game are best-of-seven.
The playoff champions and the Victoiria Cougars (host) qualify for the 2016 Cyclone Taylor Cup.  If Victoria also wins the league playoffs then the league runner-up qualifies for the Cyclone Taylor cup as the league representative.  The winner of the Cyclone Taylor Cup then advances to the 2016 Keystone Cup as the province's representative for the Western Canada Junior B championship which will be held at the Co-operators Centre in Regina, Saskatchewan and will be hosted by the Regina Capitals of the Prairie Junior Hockey League.
