League business

Ice Hockey Australia made the announcement that the Australian Junior Ice Hockey League would be expanding in the 2015–16 season. It planned to include teams from Queensland, South Australia and Australian Capital Territory. This did not happen, however, and the league remains at 6 teams.[1]

On 21 January it was announced that an "AJIHL Tier 2" tournament would take place, involving a state team representing Queensland, Australian Capital Territory and South Australia. This tournament gives one of these teams a chance to enter into the AJIHL finals as a wild card team. The team names are: Brisbane Blitz, Canberra Junior Brave and Adelaide Generals.

Tournament Format When ice time is available, the first 2 periods are 15 mins running time and the third period is stop time. These games are indicated on the schedule by having 1.5 hrs. The ice is to be resurfaced between the 2nd & 3rd period of each game. When a game cannot have the 3rd period as stop time, the last 5 mins of the 3rd period is stop time, these games are indicated by 1.0hr. Games that result in a tied score go straight to penalty shootout.
Game points will be applied as follows:
a) Win = 3 points
b) Shootout win = 2 points
c) Shootout loss = 1 point
d) Tie = 1 point
e) Loss = 0 points
The top 2 teams at the end of the round robin will play a final with the winning team receiving the wild card entry into the AJIHL finals.

The tournament is held in Phillip Ice Skating Centre.[2]
