The Atlanta Inferno of the Simulation Hockey League are one of the newer franchises in the league, and as so they have not had much time to create any rivals. Last season Atlanta played the New Orleans Specters in the first round of the playoffs, where they beat them to move on to the next round. As it stands right now there isn't much of a rivalry there but should they keep playing each other a lot, the fairly close proximity of the two teams could lead to a great rivalry being made. A smaller one-sided rivalry could end up developing between Atlanta and some of the Great Lakes teams, as they will have to play the Great Lakes in order to make the finals and the Great Lakes is easily the strongest division in the league currently. The Inferno could easily grow to hate them should they end up getting stuck against them season after season. Of course, the Seattle Argonauts is another team that could be a rival since they're the other expansion team that was added to the league alongside the Inferno. Since they're on the other side of the country from Atlanta they won't play each other a ton, but any games they do play are sure to be heated ones.
