I could list a few teams as the Citadelles rivals. Nevada was the other team that joined by Expansion the same time Quebec did, everyone wants to beat Newfoundland and they've bounced QCC from the playoffs a couple times. I could argue that Detroit is a big rival having traded playoff series wins with them the past couple seasons. None of these teams were the answer I got when I posed the question to the locker room, the consensus was the Anchorage Armada.

Looking at the past several seasons this seems to be more of a dormant rivalry as these two teams haven't faced each other since a round three sweep by the Armada in S60. That sweep capped off 4 straight seasons that saw a playoff match up between Quebec City and Anchorage. Starting in S57 just as Quebec City was asserting itself as a contending team in the league, the boat team beat them in the third round and went on to win the 4 Star cup. The following season the teams would meet again, but this time in the finals where the Armada were going for the repeat. QCC won the series though 4 games to 1 winning their first every cup. In S59 the two teams would square off again in the 3rd round (playoff seeding making no sense to me) where Anchorage would prevail as victors only to go and lose the cup again.

It'll be interesting to see what happens during my 4 seasons with the Citadelles but hopefully that rivalry can be reignited and QCC can even out the series victories!
