Wheelchair Incident Results in Criminal Charges for Carson Briere

Carson Briere, the son of former NHL star and current interim Philadelphia Flyers GM Danny Briere, has been charged with criminal mischief after being caught on camera pushing an unoccupied wheelchair down a flight of stairs just over a week ago. The incident occurred at a party in Pennsylvania honoring Mercyhurst University, where Briere plays hockey.

Briere has been charged with one count of criminal mischief and one count of disorderly conduct in connection with the incident, according to USCHO.com. Patrick Carrozzi, a member of Mercyhurst’s lacrosse team, has also been charged.

I usually don’t post anything serious on my twitter but something happened Saturday night and just can’t stomach the thought of this kid getting away with it. In the video below is a @MercyhurstU student and is currently on the @HurstMensHockey team. Carson Briere. pic.twitter.com/kWWlEYEc7V

The charges are “the second-degree misdemeanors of criminal mischief related to damaged property, criminal conspiracy to commit criminal mischief, and the summary offense of disorderly conduct,” as explained by USCHO.com.

The reaction to Briere’s actions was swift and vehement. Three student-athletes, including Briere, were suspended immediately and indefinitely until a full investigation could be completed. Following that, there will be an update. There is no word on when Briere will appear in court or whether the case will be resolved without him having to appear before a judge.

I grew up playing Ball and Roller Hockey day and night somewhat religiously throughout elementary and middle school. The two don't compare though when I lace up the skates and hit the ice. I live and breathe hockey beyond the perspective of "it's just a game" and I will gladly talk hockey for hours with anyone. Hockey is more than just a lifestyle, it's a culture of passionate people who make memories every time the puck is dropped. Hockey has not only helped me get through some of the hardest times in life but has created some of the best memories to date. Want to talk hockey with me? Shoot me an email: iburdetskiy@hookedonhockey.com and let's talk some hockey!
