ber818 Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 Just FYI for all Sioux hockey fans.... This year's Shattuck vs the World Celebrity Hockey Game will be taking place in Faribault MN at Shattuck St. Mary's Ice Arena this Thursday, August 11th. Gates open at 3:30pm and the game starts at 7pm. Former Sioux on the roster include Zach Parise, Taylor Chorney, Ryan Duncan, Chay Genoway, Chris Porter, and Drew Stafford....there could be more. It isn't a final roster listed on the website. Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for youth. We went a couple of years ago and the kids loved it. They were able to get their pictures taken with former Sioux NHL players and get their autographs....then watch them play some hockey. It's definitely worth going to. Hope to see you all there!

mikejm Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 ^I bet the insurance company denies the payment. If the kid fills out the claim form with his name, they'll say he wasn't the right person to take the shot, and therefore ineligible to win the dough. If he fills it out with his twin's name they'll go after him for insurance fraud. I hope someone from the community steps up and shoves some money the kid's way. Quote
siouxkid12 Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Pay the kid. if you pay the kid anything it just shows what kind of country we live in, where we reward cheaters and liars (although the family did come clean afterwards). i say let the kid whos name was drawn take the shot and if he makes it, he gets the money and if he misses it he gets nothing.

Like I said pay the kids. Ya really think they cheated? The one brother is outside so dad sends the other one on the ice so he doesn't hold the game up. Ya really think they thought he had better chance at making it than his twin brother. The insurance is payed for so I still say pay em up. Dad did the right thing by saying it was the wrong son now it's their turn to do the right thing and pay them. Quote

I disagree....why should they pay him...he was not the contestant that was called.....let one of those millionaire hockey players pay it if they so choose....rules are rules 2 Quote

Lots of gray area. Quote
choyt3 Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 A caller to Dan Barreiro's show on kfan yesterday, who said he was on hockey association board in Fairbault, stated that the rules were specific in saying the person named on the ticket had to be same person to take the shot. Quote
a_hockeynut Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Did anyone happen to go to this game? Crazy dilemma that happend between periods it looked like. ESPN We were there, and it was awesome! My friend said after he made the shot "why didn't I video that?", and now here it is all over the place (even caught the family on the Today show!). The family could have kept their switcheroo to themselves, but did the honest thing and fessed up which I see as very honorable. I am certain the insurance company will not pay, as they have made it clear the name on the ticket drawn had to be the one who took the shot. They have said they would use the money mostly for a college fund, and donate the rest to their local hockey association. The today show indicated there is a website setup (http://hockeytwinswin.com/), although not much there to really tell how legit it is. Quote
Sodbuster Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 Back in the early eighties, UND had a similar contest with a car as the prize, and my buddy and I witnessed a guy put the puck through the hole too. A moment of disbelief by the crowd, then the place went nuts. Quote

A moment of disbelief by the crowd, then the place went nuts. I was at a Fighting Sioux hockey game in the 1990's where a guy shot the puck through the hole from center ice, I think it was worth like $50,000.00... Quote

Dad did the right thing by saying it was the wrong son now it's their turn to do the right thing and pay them. yes, the dad did do the right thing by admitting it was a different son but the insurance company is not in the wrong and they don't have to do what you call the "right" thing. it's just like any other contest if the kid does not show up they draw another name, problem solved. this dad and son stole a chance from someone else who could have followed the rules and made the shot.

I have a friend who ownes a car dealership that sponsors a hole-in-one-win-a-car at a yearly fund raiser. He told me that nobody ever won, so one year he didn't insure against it. Of course, a guy holed one. Quote

a_hockeynut Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 No dough to the boy who hit the hole! However, the insurance company is donating $20k to hockey programs..... "Odds On Promotions of Reno, Nev., the company which insured the event, is instead donating $10,000 to each the Faribault and Owatonna youth hockey programs in the names of the two boys, Nate and Nick Smith."
