In particular, this season was notable for the tours of the traveling Garden State Grays and the Japanese team, Shikoku Island All-Stars. [2] This season was also the first time since 2011 that the league playoff bracket had both a semifinals round and a championship round. From 2012-2014, since there were very few teams in the league and only the top two made the playoffs, there was only a championship round played.


Season summary

Shikoku Island League all-star team

The Shikoku Island All-Stars played 16 games in June 2015 against all of the Can-Am League teams, finishing 6-10.

Garden State Grays

This was the first time since the 2007 season that the Grays played in the Can-Am League. The other time that the Grays played was in the Can-Am League's inaugural year in 2005. Unfortunately, the Grays finished with an appalling 13-47 record. Since then, they never returned to the Can-Am League.
