Normally a rival is pretty well known by the players and fans, but being a relatively newish player to the league and team means that there's no history to base a rivalry on for Cole Maxwell, the best he can do is to judge who the team seems to care most about by the player's reactions post game. It was an epic battle between the Colorado Yeti and the Yellowknife Wraiths, going late into the night as an overtime period was needed to determine the ultimate winner, which was unfortunately not the Yeti. The locker room was gloomy as the players couldn't believe their luck, just more "sim going to sim" as they seemed to always have the most difficult time against the Wraiths, regardless of how good either team was. This was when Cole learned of the brutal history of poor games and winless streaks against the Wraiths. But it wouldn't last long, as veteran receiver and locker room beast William Lim stood and began to speak. His passion and fire for the game burned away the gloom and brought life back to all the players, now reinvigorated and ready to play again, ready to squash the curse of the Sim and bring a much needed victory to start to even the score with Yellowknife.
