FYI, I still loath every single sports team in Edmonton - and cheer for every team in Calgary. The only exception might be the U of C Dinos vs U of A Golden Bears - which is neutral for me - considering I attended both schools - and actually attended the U of A for a longer proportion of time.

People can cheer for whatever team they want. To be honest, I have more respect for people who live and die by their hometown team, no matter where they move (ie. people who were born and raised in Calgary and cheering for the Flames no matter what city they end up moving to).

My grudge are the bandwagon fans who move to a city and switch allegiances just because that team is doing well compared to their previous favorite or hometown team.
I wouldn't recommend it on the EC Conference Final thread.

On shifting allegiances, I did it once.

I was 11 and the Flames moved to Calgary. That was one of the best days of my life.
