[71] In February 2015 it was announced that the Sydney Bears and Sydney Ice Dogs had moved some of their home games to Canberra. The Sydney Bears home game against the CBR Brave on 20 June had to be moved due to the Penrith Ice Palace being unavailable for the game.

[74] On 28 July 2015 the league fined the Sydney Ice Dogs $500 and three competition points for multiple breaches of the AIHL by-law 4. [75] The by-law requires a team to travel with at least 15 players unless an exemption has been granted. [75] The Ice Dogs first breached the by-law on 4 July and received a written warning and then again breached it on 25 and 26 July, attracting the monetary fine and loss of competition points. [75] The Ice Dogs, who at the time of the fine only had two competition points, revert to zero points and can not gain any further points until they have accumulated the points they have forfeited.
