Second game covered was the B grade game between Rockstars and Tree Roots. Rockstars would have a short bench with goaltender Jase Hill out late so Seth Anspach kept his goaltender skates on to do this one too for his Rockstars team. B grade is played as four 12mins periods. Jared Lowe of the Tree Roots would open the scoring but Andrew Weger snapped one back to have the score at 1-all at the end of the period. Emily Lothian headed to the sin bin for a high-sticking penalty. Second period saw Weger score his 2nd goal of the game at the halfway mark of the period. Emily Lothian of the Tree Roots equalised with 2secs left in the period.
The 3rd quarter started even before Max Leong sent in a long shot from the red line so score one of his cameo goals from defence. With a bit over 5mins to go, Aaron Collier teamed up with dad, Neil Collier to even the score at 3-all. Two mins into the last period Isaac Miller got the Rockstars in front, before a minute and half later Jordan Kutsche, on a breakaway post the Rockstars 6th goal. Jared Lowe would chime in again for another goal to have the Tree Roots behind by 2 with 6mins to play. Rockstars kept their nerve and Max Leong posted another goal, unassisted, with a bit over a minute remaining to seal the deal for the Rockstars 6-4. Max Coleman had 3 assists for the game. Shots on goal were: Tree Roots 42, Rockstars 35.
