By playing for the Kelowna  I would have to say that our biggest rival in the SMJHL would be the Vancouver  . Not only are they located in the same province as us here and play within our division. Their newest Co-GM steveoiscool (Sven Svechnikov) is someone I have gotten to know when they got drafted by the Edmonton  . Sven and I started out acting very friendly to each other, but I quickly found out that he is a fellow banter and joker like myself. Thus that created this playful rivalry between the two of us. Sven stated that he could not wait to see me on the ice and lay his body on me when Vancouver would take on Kelowna. 

The most frustrating part is that Sven is about to get called up to the SHL so he will be unable to see me hit my peak in a few seasons time down here in the J. Luckily for us we share the Edmonton LR where I can always bother him when Kelowna takes on Vancouver. I look forward to seeing how Kelowna does after re-building for a few seasons after going all in not that long ago.
