Who Do You Think Is The IceDogs' Biggest Rival In The League, Conference &/Or Division?

I know there will be teams on here they will barely play, but everyone has their own opinion so Ill put all the teams up....post & vote away my friends!:cool:

I don't want to vote in the poll because I want every team to be a big game!

That being said, it's clear Brampton and Mississauga are the two biggest natural and historical rivals, though I'm not sure which rivalry is greater.

The league wants divisional realignment as well, and has already tried to create an Erie rivalry. Unfortuately the team stinks, so it's not much of one right now. But if (when) this team moves into the Midwest, I look forward to great rivalries with London, Kitchener and Guelph.

Ottawa and Plymouth have also had their moments this year...

It's hard to vote now because rivalries are formed over years - but the immediate rivalry I think will still be with Mississauga only because our guys used to be in their rink. Aside from that, I think it'll take a few good playoff series to start up a real competitive rivalry.

I completely agree with Alpha, we only see our divisional opponents 4 times a year so even that is pretty hard. But if I had to choose i would say Mississauga for sure.

For the majority of the fans it's probably going to be Mississauga. But for me however, it is probably Barrie. I only live about 20 minutes away from the Barrie Molson Center and I grew up cheering for the Barrie Colts in the OHL. I never really payed much attention to the OHL, and still really don't. I keep up with the stats and stuff, but not a huge fan. But from this site, being on the baystreetbullies.com side of the forum alot, I've slowly started to like the IceDogs, therefor when the Colts and IceDogs collide, I love it.

I think that the proximity of the Majors alone will create a huge rivalry. We are so loud at thier arena. I love it !!

I've noticed that Sudbury has zero votes, but this has certainly changed in recent time. They are one of our biggest rivals at this point

There is a large sign as you enter the hershey ctr that states, "Noisemakers are not allowed". So my guess is no, they wont let you bring in a megaphone tomorrow night lol

We were told that as long as it fit in his lap the drum was ok. Personally, I think they will not allow it in on Tuesday. Just a feeling I have.

Because the 2 teams house the Greatest Fans in Hockey.
According to DAHM GOOD, who has played for both, the ICEDOGFANS are the GREATEST!.
That alone is reason enough to start a Virtual Forum WAR!!!!

The gauntlet has been tossed and the spilled blood of the FORUM WARS is strewn asunder!

May the best fans WIN!;)
