The Vancouver Whalers' oldest rival is the Kelowna Knights. The Knights have been not doing too well in the past couple of seasons, but the Vancouver Whalers can't say that they have been doing much better, but this season you can find the Kelowna Knights beating the Vancouver Whalers quite consistently despite the Knights being lower in the standings than the Whalers. This definitely fires the team up as this rivalry has literally been here since the start of the SMJHL with the two cities being so close in proximity, they are looking for the bragging rights as the best in BC. In addition to the current series record between the teams, and the rivalry is also for who has the most cups. This is a close race between the two with the Vancouver Whalers leading the last time I checked, but don't quote me as I am not a historian. Regardless, the Vancouver Whalers win in my heart and that's all that matters.
