In his first season, head coach Sheldon Keefe led them. Their regular season began on October 9, 2015, against the Manitoba Moose and concluded on April 17, 2016, against their rival, the Rochester Americans. The Marlies looked to improve upon their progress in the 2014–15 season after being eliminated in the first round of the Eastern Conference Divisional Semifinals by the eventual Eastern Conference Finalists, the Grand Rapids Griffins. During the season, the Marlies broke numerous franchise records on their way to finishing first in the entire league. This was the Marlies' 5th divisional title and 4th in 5 years. The Marlies won the Macgregor Kilpatrick Trophy for the first time in franchise history as regular season champions. The Marlies set various franchise and league records, most notably securing the third-best record in AHL history and the best of any team in a 76-game season. The Marlies would defeat the Bridgeport Sound Tigers in a 3-game sweep in the Division Semifinals, where then they would continue the momentum with a 7-game series victory over the Albany Devils in the Division Finals. Toronto would advance to their 3rd Conference Finals appearance in 5 seasons where they would fall to Hershey, 4-1, in 5 games. On February 2, 2016, along with the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Marlies unveiled a new logo to coincide with the parent club's 100th anniversary. During Game seven of the second round playoff series against Albany, Rich Clune scored the series-winning goal with under 3 minutes remaining in the third period, his first playoff goal as a professional; after which a fan in the Ricoh Coliseum was spotted with a poster stating "Clune wrestles bears for fun" as an allusion to their next opponent, the Hershey Bears, as well as his role as the main enforcer on the team.
