Carson Briere, son of Flyers GM Danny Briere, suspended for pushing wheelchair down stairs

Mercyhurst University hockey player Carson Briere, the son of Philadelphia Flyers interim general manager Danny Briere, and two other student-athletes have been suspended after Briere pushed an unoccupied wheelchair down a flight of stairs at a bar.

A video was posted on Twitter on Tuesday by a person who said they worked at Sullivan's Pub in Erie, Pennsylvania, showing the incident that took place on Saturday. The stairs lead to the restrooms, and the wheelchair's owner had been carried downstairs to use the facilities.

"After conducting an initial investigation into the incidents depicted on social media, the Mercyhurst athletics department has determined that three individuals in the video are student-athletes," the athletics department said in a statement Wednesday. "We have placed all three on interim suspension from their athletics teams per school policy, pending the outcome of the investigative process."
