In Season 14 of the Hellmouth Cup the Atlanta Glitter Sharks became the Quitter Sharks and quit the Hot Water division. They were replaced by the Boylston Boogers .

This came as a great shock to the Alewife Arsonists , also in the Hot Water division, as the two teams are lifelong frenemies. The Boogers hail from the Boylston Street station on the Green Line of the Boston Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) system, while the Arsonists hail from the Alewife station. The two immediately established the MTA Crown as the seasonal competition between the two teams.

The two teams have been connected for their entire existence, and both teams' fan bases are from Boston. As a result, the traditions and stories around the MTA Crown involve in-jokes, niche cultural references, and a constant barrage of references to the "glory days" of the respective teams. Most aspects of the rivalry are poorly understood by outsiders. Ironically, however, despite their shared traditions, common home team, and in-jokes that only they get, fans and players of Alewife and Boylston will fight like cats and dogs if left unattended.
