Wouldn't be suprised to see Texas Stars (Austin's Cedar Park) or San Antonio Rampage emerge as an instant rival.

An on ice incident is going to help trigger a rivalry as well as the proximity of the Texas (Austin, San Antonio, Houston) franchises to Oklahoma City.

Oklahoma City will be a leader in this league as the economy gets better and this one-year hiatus nears to an end. The nostalgic feeling for hockey will soon set in.
