College Hockey | Carson Brière expelled from his team

Carson Brière, son of Daniel Brière, has been “removed” from the Mercyhurst University hockey team in Pennsylvania.


The educational establishment made the announcement in a terse statement on Monday evening, adding “not being able to comment on the subject further”.

This situation comes just weeks after a video showing Brière nonchalantly swinging an unoccupied wheelchair down the stairs of a nightclub made the rounds on the web. The story caused a stir. On Twitter, the woman who posted the video said the chair was there because its owner had to go downstairs to access the bar’s bathroom.

Brière, 23, faces charges of mischief and misconduct for these actions. The day the video was published, Mercyhurst University quickly announced that it had opened an investigation into the event. The young man had also been suspended.

Daniel Brière, ex-NHL player and new general manager of the Philadelphia Flyers, apologized on behalf of his son in the days following the events. He claimed to have had “a shock” on seeing the video, describing these actions as “inexcusable”. “Carson is sorry and accepts full responsibility for his behavior,” he added.

His son, more succinctly, had meanwhile declared to be “deeply sorry for [son] behavior “. “There is no excuse for my actions and I will do everything I can to make amends for this serious lapse in judgment. »

This isn’t the first time Brière has been kicked out of a hockey program. In November 2019, Arizona State University fired him “due to a violation of team rules,” a staff member told the Walter Cronkite Sports Network at the time.

There is still one year of NCAA eligibility left for Carson Briere.
