A hockey dad doesn't -- accused of pointing a laser light.

At players at the goalie.

While she was in the gold during a hockey game does this sound strange -- you he's facing criminal charges now.

Julie Banderas has more on this from our newsrooms and Giuliani acted as -- a lot of stuff happen on the sidelines over my years as a the as a sports mom but I've never seen anybody when a laser eye on the ball I I'm gonna bet that -- You've probably and probably never taken a bright Green laser in China -- I I would imagine if you would opponents' eyes.

It could have possibly if -- and get busted but this guy did so the question is did he take it too far well.

So she obviously got distracted by this and it could've cost the team the game.

Her team requested a rematch with the local athletic associates -- decided.
