The San Diego Tidal is a new team, in their first season in existence after just joining the league in the recent expansion that saw two teams (the other being the Ottawa Highlanders) joining the SMJHL during the last offseason. Of course, being a new team, there are no really big rivalry born just yet, but with the return of fixed divisions in the SMJHL brought as a direct consequence of that expansion, it is going to be much faster for rivalries to develop. One such rivalry could be with the Nevada Battleborn, there are a lot of close connections between the leaders of those teams, so it could be a fun friendly rivalry to have, being close spiritually and divisionally. Another rivalry could be born between San Diego and the aforementioned Ottawa Highlanders, Both being created at the same time, there should be a little race to some specific milestones (first series win, first divisional title, first league title and 4-star Cup, and so on). This little race could see a fun rivalry being born. Only the future can tell us.
