FARIBAULT, Minn. (AP) — An 11-year-old Minnesota boy has made an
astounding hockey shot – sending a puck into a tiny hole 89 feet
away.

The shot at a charity game should be worth $50,000, but there’s one
problem: Nate Smith was standing in for his identical twin,
Nick.

Nick Smith says he was outside when his ticket was drawn to make
the shot Thursday at the charity game in the southern Minnesota
city of Faribault (FAIR’-boh). So, his brother stepped
in.

Nate Smith says he was “stunned” when the puck went in.

Their father, Pat Smith, told organizers Nate, not Nick, made the
shot. He says honesty is the best policy.

The company that insured the raffle hasn’t said yet if it will
pay.
