The Kelowna Knights have been the rivals of both the Prince George Firebirds and Vancouver Whalers.
Since Prince George no longer boasts a team. (They moved to Anchorage). The Whalers live through with such history. These two teams battle it out regularly for both the 4 Star Cup and the bragging rights to be considered the best in British Columbia. Like any other team pair it is your typical rivalry. Frequent playoff battles, many legendary and infamous players on both sides, actual cups won over the other. The BEST of West Coast Junior Hockey.
Sadly neither team has won the cup in the last 10 seasons. (The Vancouver Whalers won the 4 Star Cups in S61.) Another disappointment is that these two teams have not faced off in a series since S59 (Luckily it was a 6 game win for Kelowna
). In fact the Vancouver Whalers have lost 11 series' against Kelowna going back to when we no longer have Indexes. Including the 1 and only 4 Star Cup showdown in S42.
