Score for Charity - by Kristy

Richard Marsh scored a near impossible shot to earn $50,000 for a charity at an Indiana Ice (USHL) hockey game. During the intermission, this fan was given the opportunity to shot the puck the length of the entire ice into a tiny cardboard cutout hole. He made the shot and $50,000 was to be donated to St. Vincent's Cardiovascular of Indiana and the American Heart Association.

But, in an ironic turn of events, Marsh's goal was disqualified. According to the USHL, he was "standing in front of the designated starting line' when he released the shot, and thus 'the insurance company voided the award due to Marsh' standing in the wrong place."

The Indiana Ice owners made a donation to Marsh's charity anyway, leaving this miracle-gone-crazy story a happy ending.
