The 2015–16 season was the Manitoba Junior Hockey League's (MJHL) 99th season of operation.

This season was a near carbon copy of the previous season as the Portage Terriers dominated the league for the second year in a row. The Terriers posted the best regular season record with 106 points and defeated the second-place team, the Steinbach Pistons, in the finals for their tenth Turnbull Cup.^[1] Unlike the previous season, the Terriers were not able to advance past the 2016 Western Canada Cup.

Highlights

Terriers' head coach Blake Spiller wins the Canadian Junior Hockey League Coach of the Year award for the second consecutive season.
