Entirely due to personal beef, but this years rivals are primarily Anaheim, Maine, and Quebec City, who all passed on Roddy B in the first 3 picks. Slightly less than a vendetta, a little more than a beef. Call it a personal quest to make them regret not taking me as a higher pick. It's definitely personal, but I feel it lends passion to their meetings.

As far as the team goes, however, the main rivals would be Colorado and Kelowna, they are the obvious teams to beat, and Anaheim as well, since they're sitting nice and cozily in that neck-and-neck tie for 3rd in the league at the time of writing. There is strong competition there, and it's going to take a lot to keep this Carolina team down.

On a more personal note, BIG BEEF with Kelowna because I used to live in Kamloops and Kelowna is just full of old people and golf courses and one time I had to drive there to renew my passport and the mall food court SUCKED BIG DINGUS. Eat a bag of old ham, Kelowna!
