ERIE, Pa. — The son of Philadelphia Flyers interim general manager and former Avalanche forward Danny Briere has been dismissed from the Mercyhurst University men’s hockey team after a video showed him and another athlete at the school pushing an unoccupied wheelchair down a staircase.
Mercyhurst posted Monday night on Twitter that Carson Briere “has been removed” from the team. The school said it cannot comment further on the situation.
Police in Erie filed charges of criminal mischief, criminal conspiracy to commit mischief and disorderly conduct against Carson Briere last month. Patrick Carrozzi, listed as a senior member of the school’s lacrosse team, faces the same three charges, according to documents filed with District Judge Sue Mack.
