The 2015 Federation Tournament of Champions took place in Albany at the SEFCU Arena, home court of the University at Albany, SUNY basketball teams, on March 27, 28 and 29. The usual Albany venue, the Times Union Center in downtown Albany, was unavailable because the venue instead hosted the NCAA Women's Basketball Albany Regional. Federation championships were awarded in the AA, A and B classifications. Wings Academy in the Bronx won the Class AA championship.[1] Jessie Govan of Wings Academy was named the Class AA tournament's Most Valuable Player.[2]
