The Vancouver Whalers are locational rivals to the Kelowna Knights, the trip take 4.5 hours on the team bus or just an hour with the team jet. So far throughout the beginning of season 74 the Whalers have a 3-0 record against the Knights, two home wins and one away win. The two teams will see each other only once more this season, the Whalers having a -2.5 Spread. Vancouver currently sits 6th in the SMJHL standings while Kelowna currently sits 11th, 10 points behind the Whalers. Neither team has received any recent playoff success past the second round, but the Whalers won the most recent cup of the two franchises in S62. Kelowna and Vancouver look to continue season 74 on pace for a playoff spot, Vancouver needs to figure out how to let fewer goals in and Kelowna needs to figure out how to put more goals in. Both teams will continue their Western Canadian struggle in hopes of a championship.
