Mercyhurst hockey has dismissed center Carson Brière, the son of Flyers interim general manager Daniel Brière.
The university announced Brière's removal Monday afternoon in a statement posted on Twitter. Brière is facing multiple charges after being filmed allegedly pushing a wheelchair down a flight of stairs on March 11.
"Carson Brière has been removed from the Mercyhurst University men's ice hockey team," the statement read. "Mercyhurst cannot comment further on this matter."
On March 20, Carson Brière and Patrick Carrozzi — a lacrosse midfielder for the Lakers — were charged with conspiracy to commit criminal mischief, criminal mischief, and disorderly conduct.
Carson Brière released a statement shortly after the incident, pledging to do "whatever I can to make up for this serious lack of judgment."
Previously, Carson Brière had been kicked off Arizona State's hockey team for violating team rules.
Daniel Brière, a center for five NHL teams from 1998-2015, condemned his son's behavior.
"I was shocked to see Carson's actions in the video that was shared on social media yesterday. They are inexcusable and run completely counter to our family's values on treating people with respect," Daniel Brière said in a previous statement. "Carson is very sorry and accepts full responsibility for his behavior."
