Best part is, it was supposed to be his twin brother, but he wasn't around when his turn came up.

I can't really make out what the shot is?

Does he simply glide the puck along the ice and then it stops up right against the boards?

Looks like the usual slot in the board that covers the front of the net, though the video barely catches it. Pause it at the right spots, and you can see the face-off circle, and the puck entering the slot about where the goal line should be.

Now the insurance company is trying to get out of paying because the wrong kid took the shot.

Doesn't seem worth it, with the bad publicity they'd get.

NEver have seen them actually cut the middle of the ice when they do those things...makes it a bit easier.

It wasn't between periods, it was a charity event and everyone had to buy a ticket.

Turns out it was his twin brother who shot in his place, now the insurance company will not pay put the 50k

Just like that guy who stepped over the goal line on a full ice shot. What a joke...

Watching the news now and they said that the father told them that it was the twin brother. The father said he doesn't care if they get the money or not, it's about honesty and morals. It's good to know there are still decent parents out there.

He just "moraled" his kids out of a free year of college apiece at a state university, based on tuition inflation.

You can't put a price on integrity.

Apparently the Insurance company can.

Apparently the Insurance company can.

Doesn't seem like that's the question with the company -- apparently they were unwilling to be good folks, and bend a rule. It's hard to call it an integrity issue, if they're following the rules.

[Vulcan7905 88]

I respect the father for teaching his kids that it wasn't right. Whether it be college tuition or not. Like I said, it's nice to see parents with integrity and respect still in this day and age.

Doesn't surprise me at all the the insurance company is unwilling to pay out.

Kudos to the father for his actions.

Maybe the pro players in attendance will step up.

Wasn't it at Shattuck? As in the high school?

and he wont get the money!

[Vulcan7905 88]

Glad to see that 20k is going to the Hockey community. That is better than nothing honestly and as I said four times, major respect to the father to telling the organizers about it.

I think they have every right to not give him the money but is it worth the bad press?

They were on Good Morning America or the Today Show or one of those shows this morning. Of course the hosts were shooting too and this one chick was super close to making it a few times. Looked like they were all using Warrior sticks on synthetic ice.
