Being an expansion team into the league this season, the Regina Elk really do not have a lot of rivalries to speak of. The closest one to filling that role for us is probably the Great Falls Grizzlies, simply because they are the other expansion team for this season. I know it would mean a lot to our team if we finished as the better of the two expansion teams, and so far we are off to a good start with the Elk sitting at 18 points to the Grizzlies' 14. Neither of the two occasions the teams have faced each other have been very close. The Elk won the first match 5-1, while the Grizzlies won the second one 4-1. So not much history between the two sides so fat, but there is plenty of time for them to continue to build on their rivalry. It will be a close race to see which expansion team can come out on top this season.
