I think that Anchorage's natural enemy is the Kelowna Knights. There are a lot of posts in this thread already saying that the Whalers are the Armada's rival, but it's hard to hear those voices & take those voices seriously when they are so far down in the standings. The Knights and the Armada are in the same conference and are easiliy the two favorites from the Northwest Division and the Pacific Conference. The Knights are without a shadow of a doubt the best team in the SMJHL at this current time, but the Armada are making moves to catch up to them. With a ton of talent coming through the pipe for Anchorage, it's only a matter of time.

In a season down the line, I'd predict the Armada to take the throne of the #1 spot in the SMJHL over the Kelowna Knights. Only time will tell if I'm right or not.
