2016 Sutherland Cup

This is the 2016 Sutherland Cup Playoffs.

The Sutherland Cup is now the playoff championship of the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League and is the only Junior B League in Southern Ontario. There are no further playoffs between the regional champions in the province or an eastern Canada championship.

Format
Each conference will hold its own playoffs with 8 teams qualifying for each conference. The three conference champions and the conference runner-up with the best "playoff record to date" qualify for the Sutherland Cup semifinals. The wildcard play the team with the better record of the two they didn't play in the conference final. All playoff series are best-of-seven. The Sutherland Cup champion does not advance any further as there is no Eastern Canada championship at the Junior B level.
