2015-16 QJHL Season

This is the 2015-16 Quebec Junior Hockey League season.  This was the league's 28th season overall and 2nd season under this name.  The league was previously known as the Quebec Provincial Junior Hockey League from 1988-1998 and as the Quebec Junior AAA Hockey League from 1998-2014. As a result of several franchises no longer being in the league the league went from a three division to a two division format.
The league season will run from September 6, 2015 to March 4, 2016. The NAPA Cup playoffs will be held after the completion of the regular season with the playoff champion advancing to the 2016 Fred Page Cupwhich will be hosted by the Woodstock Slammers at the Carleton Civic Centre in Woodstock, New Brunswick. The winner of the Fred Page Cup will advance to the 2016 Royal Bank Cup being held in Lloydminster, Saskatchewan hosted by the Lloydminster Bobcats of the Alberta Junior Hockey League.
==Franchise changes==
*On May 12, 2015 the Kahnawake Condors were sold and relocated to Chambly, Quebec and are renamed the Chambly Forts.
*On June 3, 2015, the Gatineau Mustangs of the former Eastern Ontario Junior Hockey League join the league.  Due to the Vaudreuil-Dorion Mustangs already having the "Mustangs" moniker the team is renamed the Gatineau Flames.  The team had purchased the Lachine Maroons franchise and absorbed the franchise rights.
*The Sherbrooke Cougars were expelled from the league as the league considered them as a college team as they had ties to Bishop's University.
