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.
