The goddamn Portland Admirals. They weren't around very long before being rebranded (twice, was it?). My first SHL home. There were some awesome peeps there, like JP, Tylar, and others (I'm sorry, bad memory). But I'll always hold them as my own personal rivals. Fortunately you can't actually face them in any capacity. So I vow that my current skater, Rob Wright, will be the Last Official Portland Admiral (this is not factually accurate).

So how do you get closure against a rival? By beating them. Pretty impossible with a defunct team. Or is it? The Portland Admirals are now the San Francisco Pride (a team I hold close to my heart). So, to get my Rival Closure, the Last Official Portland Admiral must beat the San Francisco Pride. This reality is a long way off as my player is currently enjoyed not scoring points in the SMJHL and his SHL career is a few seasons away.

But I vow. I will beat. The San Fran Pride.

Personally.

Just kidding. Good luck everyone!
