The 2015–16 WHL season was the 50th season of the Western Hockey League (WHL). The regular season began on September 24, 2015, and ended with the Eastern Conference tiebreaker game on March 22, 2016. The Victoria Royals won their first Scotty Munro Memorial Trophy for best regular season record, becoming the first team based in Victoria to win the title since the 1980–81 Victoria Cougars.[1] The playoffs began on March 24, 2016, and ended on May 13, 2016. The Brandon Wheat Kings won their third Ed Chynoweth Cup—their first since 1995–96—and a berth in the 2016 Memorial Cup tournament, which was held at the ENMAX Centrium in Red Deer, Alberta from May 19 to 29, 2016. The Red Deer Rebels qualified for the tournament as hosts.
