I would say for the Anaheim Outlaws, the biggest rival for us in our whole twelve seasons of existence would be the team that also was initialized in Season 45, the Lethbridge Lions.  The Lions, which many of you will know them today as the Newfoundland Berserkers. 
The rivalry obviously started right off the bat simply due to each team starting up in the same season and having to do the Expansion Draft where they competed in picking players from the current teams in the league.  Anaheim got the better of Lethbridge in Season 47 and Season 48 Playoffs Round 2, eliminating the Lions in Season 47 by a sweep, and in Season 48 by a score of 4 to 2. 
It wasn’t until Season 49 that Lethbridge struck Anaheim back with a brutal blow.  Former S46 Anaheim Draftees JNH and SDCore were selected to be the GM and co-GM for the Lions, making things between the two organizations very personal every time they met up on the ice.
