Rivalry In Hershey
Vitek Vaneck (Caps Outsider)Rivalries run deep, but one of the best in the American Hockey League is between the Hershey Bears and the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. Preseason, postseason, or regular season, games between these two squads are a war.
After their home opener win last night, the Bears were looking to get to .500 on the season. The Penguins came into this afternoon’s game with a 2-1-0 record.
When you talk to Bears fans about the rivalry, big hits, fights and bragging rights are the top three topics of the conversation. An hour and a half drive separates these two teams, which gives fans for both clubs the opportunity to see this rivalry live all season long.
