historically the rivalry that has been largest for the armada was the rivalry with vancover. this comes from a few series in the last s40s and early s50s, the old days of the shl back when the sim was on sths and players passing ability didnt matter at all. this included three straight seasons where they matched up in the playoffs and vaocover took one 4 star cup in that time in a season where anchorage was also considered a top contender. sadly for that rivalry the series went through a long dead period where neither team was top level, with anchorage being middle of teh league for a lot of it and then vancover having a long time being mediocre to bad. that said both franchises still have some deep seeded hate for each other and i think they look forward to the games vs each other each season. here is to hoping that both teams are able to reawaken in the short term to kick off more rivalry games with real meaning.
