The 2015–16 GMHL season was the tenth season of the Greater Metro Junior A Hockey League (GMHL). The thirty-two teams of the GMHL played 42-game schedules.
Starting in February 2016, the top teams of the league played down for the Russell Cup, emblematic of the grand championship of the GMHL. Since the GMHL is independent from Hockey Canada and the Canadian Junior Hockey League, this is where the GMHL's season ended.
