Marquee events during the season

On June 11, 2015, the Missouri Mavericks announced an affiliation agreement with the New York Islanders of the National Hockey League and the Bridgeport Sound Tigers of the American Hockey League, which is also an affiliate of the Islanders.[11][12]

On September 10, 2015, it was announced that former Mavericks player John-Scott Dickson had been hired as an Assistant Coach for the Mavericks for the 2015-16 season, joining Head Coach Richard Matvichuk and fellow Assistant Coach Simon Watson.[6]

On April 10, 2016, Ross Johnston, who played 18 games for the Mavericks during the 2015-16 season, became the first former Maverick to make his NHL debut after playing for the Mavericks, when he suited up for the New York Islanders in a game against the Philadelphia Flyers.[13][14]
