Mercyhurst University hockey player Carson Briere is rightfully being blasted this week after a video circulated online showing his disgusting acts.
The son of Philadelphia Flyers interim general manager Danny Briere has apologized after a video posted on social media showed him pushing an empty wheelchair down a staircase.
The video below shows a bar’s security footage of Carson Brierer talking with friends near the top of a staircase. After sitting in a wheelchair for a few seconds, he would then push it down the stairs.
His father condemned the incident in a statement to ESPN.
“I was shocked to see Carson’s actions in the video that was shared on social media yesterday,” Daniel Briere said. “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.”

Briere issued his apology in a statement released Wednesday by the NHL’s Flyers.
“I am deeply sorry for my behavior on Saturday,” he said. “There is no excuse for my actions, and I will do whatever I can to make up for this serious lack of judgment.”
Carson Briere previously was dismissed from Arizona State’s hockey club in 2019 for what the school called a violation of team rules. He is in his third season at Mercyhurst.
