Historically, the best and most prominent rivalry in the entire SMJHL, if not the entirety of the SHL, has been the clash between the Detroit Falcons on one side, and the St. Louis Scarecrows on the other.

While in more recent seasons the rivalry has settled down a bit and wasnt as clear as it once was due to the Scarecrows being absolutely terrible and not worth the attention, the Detroit Falcons are looking forward to times where their rival is at least able to muster a somewhat competent squad and pick up the glove again.

Detroit Falcons rookie Julian Flörsch, was well aware of the rivalry between the two teams when joined the Falcons Franchise. Julian is looking forward to brining back to life and continuing the rivalry, and experience it much like his Swiss and Falcons idol Cal Labovitch once did. Cal has been heard numerous times praising the level of respect between the two rival teams during his stay with the Falcons, and with Julian meeting some of his Swiss national teammates on the opposite side of the rivalry that shiuld make for interesting games.
