Nate Smith and his dad Pat Smith, second from right


Nate Smith and his dad Pat Smith, second from right, pose for a photo after the 11-year-old sank a trick shot during a charity hockey game Thursday, Aug. 11, 2011, in Faribault, Minn. Nate shot a puck 89 feet and through a tiny hole barely larger than the puck to win a $50,000 prize, but may be whistled for a rules violation because it was his brother Nick's name that had been drawn for the chance to make the shot. Nate's dad Pat Smith wanted to set a good example for the kids and told organizers the next day. The promotions company that insured the raffle, Odds On Promotions of Reno, Nev., haven't said yet if it will pay. (AP Photo/Daily News, Brendan Burnett-Kurie)
