Carson Briere, son of Flyers interim GM Daniel Briere, has been dismissed from the Mercyhurst hockey team, the school announced. Briere is facing misdemeanor charges after an unoccupied wheelchair was pushed down a flight of stairs at a bar on March 11.
Briere later provided a statement to ESPN in which he said he was"deeply sorry" for his behavior while adding"there is no excuse for my actions."
Sydney Benes, who was identified as the owner of the wheelchair, filed a complaint. In her complaint, Benes stated that the fall down the stairs damaged her wheelchair's left brake handle, broke the right arm rest's plastic molding, bent a rear handle and caused the wheels to drag when moving forward. Benes said the wheelchair cost $2,000 when it was purchased a year earlier.
Mercyhurst, an Erie, Pennsylvania, school and member of Division I's Atlantic Hockey Association, also said in its statement released Monday on Twitter that it would not provide any further comment. Briere, 23, just completed his third season at Mercyhurst, appearing in 30 games. His father, 45, played 17 seasons in the NHL.
After the incident, Daniel Briere, issued a statement saying,"I was shocked to see Carson's actions in the video that was shared on social media yesterday. They are inexcusable and run completely counter to our family's values on treating people with respect. Carson is very sorry and accepts full responsibility for his behavior."
