Lets Go Loonies!!!!!

Time to put a leash on those mutts!

I think the only team that the Loons have a big enough rivalry with at least at this point is Winnipeg.

Some ideas for a nickname
- The Icebox Rivalry (It's cold in both MN and Winnipeg)
- The Red River Rivalry (The Red River of the North runs through Minnesota and Manitoba)
- The Battle for the North (Both take pride in being northern. North Star State vs True North)

Boston's Rivalries would be something like
Boston vs Philly vs New York (The Colonial Clash)
Boston vs Seattle (The I-90 Classic)
Boston vs Los Angeles (I got nothing)

I like Colonial Clash, but what about The Colonial Classic?

I like that, maybe even there's a specific trophy handed off at the end of the year, ala the Commander in Chief Trophy?
