At the moment, the Anchorage Armada's biggest rivals are the Newfoundland Berserkers. This is for a few reasons. The first is natural - as the conference basement dwellers, naturally the team directly above us in the standings is the most obvious target for our ire. We don't want to be in second to last, but we'd sure rather be there than in last - it's only logical.

The next reason is due to the natural rivalry between the Armada, a team of honest, workmanlike sailors, and the Berserkers, who are clearly unsavory vikingrs, out to make a fortune raiding our harbors and pillaging the land. They give a bad name to seafaring folks all over.

Lastly and more practically is the fact that they are on the complete opposite end of the continent, yet still share a conference. Do you know how long it takes to fly from Anchorage to St. John's? 16 hours, with two connections. On a good day.
