Sherbrooke came close again, against the Longueuil Collège Français in the 2015 Napa Cup finals losing in 7 games, despite leading the series 2-0 and 3–2.

In 2015 the hockey team made a request to return to the re-established collegiate league for the 2016–2017 season.

Following acceptance, the Sherbrooke Cougars were expelled by the QJAAAHL, so they would not be able to participate in the draft or play in the 2015–2016 season.

The Director of Athletics at Champlain College Lennoxville then made a special request to rejoin the collegiate league for the 2015–2016 season (not the required two-year wait), and it was accepted.

The Champlain Cougars will play all home games at the new arena in the recently renovated John H. Price Sports Complex on campus.
