Flyers GM's Son Seen Pushing Wheelchair Down Stairs

PHILADELPHIA — The son of Philadelphia Flyers interim General Manager Daniel Brière was seen on camera shoving an unoccupied wheelchair down a set of stairs recently.

Video circulating social media shows Carson Brière pushing the chair down the stairs at a crowded nightclub.

The video has 6.5 million views on Twitter as of Wednesday afternoon.

Carson Brière, 23, attends and plays hockey at Mercyhurst University in Erie.

Yahoo Sports reported the chair was left at the top of the stairs while its user was carried down the stairs to a restroom.

In response to the video making rounds online, the university issued a statement saying its Office of Student Conduct and Department of Police and Safety are looking into the incident.

One other person was with Carson Brière when the chair was pushed, but it's unclear if that person is a student or athlete at the university.

According to the video's timestamp, the incident occurred at about 11:38 p.m. on Saturday, about a day after his father Daniel Brière was named the Flyers interim General Manager Friday after serving as the special assistant to the general manager for part of the 2021-22 season, ESPN reports.

His father spent 18 seasons with various NHL teams, including the Flyers.

CollegeHockeyNew.com reports this is not the first time Carson Brière has been subject to scrutiny.

He initially attended and played for Arizona State, but was dismissed for violating team rules, according to the outlet.
