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.

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.
