$50,000 Hockey Shot?

During halftime of an minor league hockey game a fan picked from the stands made an absolutely incredible shot, but the sponsoring insurance company is refusing to pay him because he released the puck across the line. PSH! Worst part is, before he shot the puck, he said he would donate all the money if he won.

That sucks. I guess they were expecting not to pay out. But what do you expect when you do this at a minor league game. Most people at a Minor league game are hardcore hockey peeps. They know how to shoot a puck.

Yeah, I couldn't believe they weren't going to give the money to charity... glad they decided to in the end.
