He needs to go to prison! Hell, he committed a war crime.

"Protocol IV on Blinding Laser Weapons prohibits the use of laser weapons specifically designed, as their sole combat function or as one of their combat functions, to cause permanent blindness to unenhanced vision, that is to the naked eye or to the eye with corrective eyesight devices. The High Contracting Parties shall not transfer such weapons to any State or non-State entity."

Fuck prison, GITMO!!!!!!!!

Wow this is retarded, it's just a freaking game. He should definitely be charged though for potentially causing permanent damage to the child's eyes.

UPDATE: Faces Criminal Charges:

WINTHROP (CBS) – The father accused of pointing a laser into the eyes of a high school hockey goalie will face criminal charges.
According to Winthrop Police, 42-year-old Joseph Cordes will be charged with disturbing the peace.
Last Wednesday, Cordes, the father of a Winthrop girls hockey player, was caught pointing the laser at the Medway-Ashland goalie. Winthrop Assistant Superintendent Lisa Howard went into the stands and ordered him out of the arena.
“I wish I could undo it,” Cordes tells WBZ-TV. “I feel like a complete jerk. It was very stupid, completely immature for a 42-year-old man to be doing that.”
Winthrop went on to win the game 3-1.
Cordes was barred from all events involving Winthrop High School.
“My daughter, the humiliation I put her through is sickening to tell you the truth,” says Cordes.

From some of the local news stations covering this, this asshat dad had done it before and other teams have complained but the Winthrop team/coach of this parent's daughter didn't do anything til now b/c it was a playoff game and received so much attention.

Team should be forced to forfeit the game and allow the other team to stay in the playoffs.

I'd DQ the whole team. They knew it was a bad idea, and did nothing? douchebags all around.
