Some thoughts on this:

I am glad the father had a change of heart and did the right thing, after dishonestly sending the 'wrong' named twin onto the ice to shoot.

If it is indeed true that only the person named on the ticket can shoot for the money, then I feel the kid should not get the money.

I was also thinking that sadly because of this dishonest act, another ticket holder who paid $10 for the chance to shoot and win, if they were to be chosen after the named twin did not show up, well they did not get a chance to shoot and win. A little unfair if you ask me, especially after paying for that chance.
