This bugged me, then the Heat only played "division rival" Charlotte twice. If the league is going to have the schedule weighted this poorly why bother making the divisions geographically correct?
I don't think division rivals mean that much as far as scheduling is concerned especially when division rivals are not geographic rivals. What does Abbotsford, BC and Charlotte, NC have in common to make them rivals anyway? Utica only played the Heat 12 times in an attempt to boost their attendance as more people in Abbotsford would attend games against the Canucks farm team.
