I don't know if I know the Whalers biggest rival all time, but it has to be one of the remaining super old SMJHL teams in the league, right? So, that narrows it down to Kelowna, Detroit, or St. Louis.

When I first started, Kelowna seemed really snooty. I was probably just jealous that they were winning cups while my beloved Regina Force struggled to ever have winning seasons (although, check out how stacked that S19 Regina Force roster was). They seemed to be a pretty tight knit group, which made them very easy to hate. These days, I don't think that's the case anymore. Artemis is one of my favorite users on the site, so I think the organization has maybe changed in the last ten years or so.

St. Louis is a working mans team. A real hockey player's hockey team. I had some friends on this squad, and don't think they've ever done me too dirty in the postseason, so they get a pass.

Detroit is an enigma to me. It's a team that I have never played for in my entire time in the league. I couldn't tell you a single person who's ever played for Detroit, ever, like, all time. That kind of anonymity frightens me, so I guess they're my biggest rival.
