==Information== This year's Allan Cup was the first played in Newfoundland and Labrador since 1985. It was the third consecutive trip to the Allan Cup for the host Clarenville Caribous, who lost the previous two championship games.
The Atlantic region was awarded Quebec's berth for this year's Allan Cup, in addition to its regular spot. As a result, the champions from the Newfoundland's Central West Senior Hockey League (Grand Falls-Windsor Cataracts) and New Brunswick's North East Senior Hockey League (Lameque Au P'tit Mousse) were given automatic berths into the Allan Cup. In Ontario, the OHF and defending Allan Cup champions Dundas Real McCoys defeated Northern Ontario's Kenora Thistles to win the Renwick Cup.<ref name="tel">{{cite news|url=http://www.thetelegram.com/Sports/Hockey/2015-04-11/article-4107686/Coming-attractions/1|title=Coming attractions|publisher=The Telegram|date=11 April 2015|access-date=16 April 2015|archive-url=https://archive.today/20150416144741/http://www.thetelegram.com/Sports/Hockey/2015-04-11/article-4107686/Coming-attractions/1|archive-date=16 April 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref>
