This year's Allan Cup marked the second time in eight seasons that the Allan Cup was played in Steinbach, with three of the participating teams from 2009 returning for 2016. The South East Prairie Thunder were formally announced as the host club in September 2014, the 2009 champion Bentley Generals qualified by winning Alberta's Chinook Hockey League, and the 2009 host team, Île-des-Chênes North Stars, qualified as Manitoba champions.[1][4]

The other three clubs to qualify were the Stoney Creek Generals, who captured the OHA Allan Cup Hockey championship and Renwick Cup; the Shellbrook Elks, who qualified by default as the lone Senior 'AAA' club in Saskatchewan; and the Grand Falls-Windsor Cataracts, winner of the Atlantic region playoff.[5][6]
