The 2016 CIS Men's University Cup Hockey Tournament (54th Annual) was held March 17–20, 2016, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, to determine a national champion for the 2015–16 CIS men's ice hockey season.
[2] There was no Bronze Medal (3rd place) series as Saint Mary's did not advance to the AUS Finals and as such would take the host spot.
The tournament is a traditional 8 team – Single Elimination ladder with bronze medal game between the two Semi-final losers.
Games that ended in a regulation tie would be resolved solely on 5-on-5 overtime (5 skaters and a goalie for each side) until one team scored.
The previous record was 103:17 and occurred in 2002 when Western won 4–3 in triple overtime over UQTR in the championship final.
The semi-final match between Saskatchewan Huskies and St. Francis Xavier X-Men also went into overtime.
