Regular season

The regular season started on 25 April 2015 and ran through to 23 August 2015 before the top four teams compete in the Goodall Cup playoff series.{{cite web | url=http://www.theaihl.com/media/leagues/3856/graphics/2015_full_fixture.pdf | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150207173144/http://www.theaihl.com/media/leagues/3856/graphics/2015_full_fixture.pdf | url-status=dead | archive-date=7 February 2015 | title=2015 AIHL Schedule | publisher=Australian Ice Hockey League | access-date=28 December 2014 }} In February 2015 it was announced that the Sydney Bears and Sydney Ice Dogs had moved some of their home games to Canberra. The Sydney Bears home game against the CBR Brave on 20 June had to be moved due to the Penrith Ice Palace being unavailable for the game.{{cite web|url=http://icehockeynewsaustralia.com/2015/02/10/schedule-changes-for-the-bears-and-ice-dogs/ |title=Schedule changes for the Bears and Ice Dogs |publisher=Ice Hockey News Australia |date=10 February 2015 |access-date=10 February 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150210165359/http://icehockeynewsaustralia.com/2015/02/10/schedule-changes-for-the-bears-and-ice-dogs/ |archive-date=10 February 2015 |url-status=live }} The Sydney Ice Dogs moved both their 1 and 22 August home games against the Brave to Canberra for undisclosed reasons. The Ice Dogs also moved their 23 May home game in Liverpool against the Newcastle North Stars to 14 June at the Hunter Ice Skating Stadium in Newcastle.{{cite web|url=http://icehockeynewsaustralia.com/2015/05/22/2015-aihl-season-schedule-changes/ |title=2015 AIHL season schedule changes |publisher=Ice Hockey News Australia |date=22 May 2015 |access-date=2 August 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150925154752/http://icehockeynewsaustralia.com/2015/05/22/2015-aihl-season-schedule-changes/ |archive-date=25 September 2015 |url-status=live }} On 23 May the Brave hosted the Adelaide Adrenaline in the inaugural beyondblue cup at the Phillip Ice Skating Centre. The regular season game was held to rais awareness for the beyondblue charity and was won by the Brave 8–2. On 20 June the Perth Thunder's regular season match against the Melbourne Mustangs was held at the Perth Arena as a pre-game event to the Canada v USA Ice Hockey Classic match. The Thunder defeated the Mustangs 4–3 in front of a crowd of 2,000.{{cite web|url=http://icehockeynewsaustralia.com/2015/06/20/2015-aihl-season-round-9/ |title=2015 AIHL season: Round 9 |publisher=Ice Hockey News Australia |date=20 June 2015 |access-date=20 September 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150620141110/http://icehockeynewsaustralia.com/2015/06/20/2015-aihl-season-round-9/ |archive-date=20 June 2015 |url-status=live }} On 28 July 2015 the league fined the Sydney Ice Dogs $500 and three competition points for multiple breaches of the AIHL by-law 4.{{cite web|url=http://www.theaihl.com/leagues/newsletterarchive.cfm?leagueID=11464&clientID=3856&page=89321 |title=Ice Dogs docked points for by-law breach |publisher=Australian Ice Hockey League |date=28 July 2015 |access-date=2 August 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160314193935/http://www.theaihl.com/leagues/newsletterarchive.cfm?leagueID=11464&clientID=3856&page=89321 |archive-date=14 March 2016 |url-status=live }} The by-law requires a team to travel with at least 15 players unless an exemption has been granted. The Ice Dogs first breached the by-law on 4 July and received a written warning and then again breached it on 25 and 26 July, attracting the monetary fine and loss of competition points. The Ice Dogs, who at the time of the fine only had two competition points, revert to zero points and can not gain any further points until they have accumulated the points they have forfeited.

The Newcastle North Stars won the H Newman Reid Trophy after finishing first in the regular season with 63 points.{{cite web|url=http://icehockeynewsaustralia.com/2015/08/15/2015-aihl-season-round-17/ |title=2015 AIHL season: Round 17 |publisher=Ice Hockey News Australia |date=15 August 2015 |access-date=6 September 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150815095359/http://icehockeynewsaustralia.com/2015/08/15/2015-aihl-season-round-17/ |archive-date=15 August 2015 |url-status=live }} Following the playoffs the AIHL announced the winners of the 2015 awards.{{cite web|url=http://www.theaihl.com/leagues/newsletterarchive.cfm?clientid=3856&leagueid=11464&page=89879 |title=2015 AIHL Award Winners |publisher=Australian Ice Hockey League |date=1 September 2015 |access-date=6 September 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150927044039/http://www.theaihl.com/leagues/newsletterarchive.cfm?clientid=3856&leagueid=11464&page=89879 |archive-date=27 September 2015 |url-status=live }} Newcastle North Stars Geordie Wudrick and Jan Safar won the Most Valuable Player and Defenceman of the Year respectively, Kamil Jarina of the Sydney Bears won the Goaltender of the Year, Perth Thunder's Kieran Webster was named Rookie of the Year and Dave Kenway Coach of the Year, and the Skater's Network Local Player of the Year was won by Wehebe Darge of the Adelaide Adrenaline.
