Rivalries
The Steelheads' most notable rivals are the Alaska Aces, and the Bakersfield Condors. These three teams are the surviving parts of the WCHL, and their history with each other goes back to over a decade. Three other WCHL refugees, the San Diego Gulls, Long Beach Ice Dogs, and the Fresno Falcons have since folded.
Geographically, Idaho's closest opponent is the Utah Grizzlies at 345 miles, followed by the Stockton Thunder at 602 miles.
The Steelheads also have a rivalry with the Las Vegas Wranglers, due to their frequent meetings in the playoffs.
