The official Ice Hockey pictogram for the Marble League Winter Special, designed by the JMRC.
Ice Hockey is based on Collision. 2 teams ride down a track and collide with each other on the rink, as well as a set of small metallic balls referred to as "pucks". These pucks are placed on the rink: one on each neutral zone faceoff spot, one on the center faceoff spot, and two in the middle close to one side, right at the spot where both teams would first collide.
Teams score 1 point for each puck that enters their opponent's goal. Marbles from either team that enter a goal do not score points for either side. The reserve member of each team acts as the goalie, while the other 4 marbles start on the tracks and race to the rink trying to score while blocking any goals scored against them.
Eatch match consists of 2 periods, switching sides after each intermission. The team who scores more goals advances to the next round, with overtime periods played as needed.

The Closing Ceremony commenced with the bottom 12 teams processing and lining up in front of the podium starting with last placed Snowballs up to fourth placed Raspberry Racers. Then the top three teams along with their coaches made their way onto the podium starting with the third place Hazers, followed by second place O'rangers, and the champions, the Oceanics. Stadium marbles then presented the Oceanics with the trophy. A domino rally lead to the collapse of a domino tower extinguishing the Marble League flame marking the official end of the Marble League Winter Special.
