Son of Flyers GM and Ex-NHL Star Daniel Briere, Receives 15 Month Probation for Pushing Woman’s Wheelchair down Bar’s Staircase (VIDEO)
Carson Briere, son of Philadelphia Flyers General Manager and former NHL player Daniel Briere, has been sentenced to 15 months of probation following an incident involving the mistreatment of a disabled woman’s wheelchair, Go Erie reported.
In March, the unsettling incident took root in Sullivan’s Irish Pub when Carson Briere and another ex-Mercyhurst athlete, Patrick Carrozzi, were videotaped meddling with a double amputee’s wheelchair, eventually shoving it down a flight of stairs. The video rapidly made rounds on social media, sparking widespread outrage.
Carson, previously enrolled at Mercyhurst University and a member of the men’s hockey team, faced severe backlash that translated into an “interim suspension” from the team, and his subsequent exit from the university’s hockey roster.
