"Who is our rival?" That should be one of the very first questions you ask when you join a team. Rivalries are a very critical thing in every sport, it's fun for the fans and the players. Rivalries can way back in the history of the game, or they can spring out of nowhere for both a whole team or just a player. Personally, I wouldn't call the three teams who didn't draft me "rivals" but I definitely want to show them up for not picking me and that's just a personal preference. When I got into Kelowna it didn't take long for them to explain the Knights vs Whalers rivalry, I asked why and it made me feel stupid because they're both in British Colombia, only a four-hour drive between the two cities, but that doesn't stop the bad blood. Now that I know about this I'm always rooting against Vancouver, sink that ship and hunt those whales.
