 Glenn Howard 16th Ontario Provincial Championship title |
Qualification
Southern Ontario zones ran from December 18–20, 2015 with regional tournaments held January 2–3. Two teams from each zone qualify to 4 regional tournaments, and two teams from each of the two tournaments qualify to provincials. Two additional teams qualify out of a second chance qualifier. As the defending champion Mark Kean rink disbanded in the off season, the 2015 runner-up John Epping rink from the Dondalda Curling Club automatically qualified in the defending champion berth.
