Carson Briere announces his next move

The son of NHL great and interim Philadelphia Flyers general manager Daniel Briere found himself once again in hot water, and he's now attempting to to set things back in order for himself.

Carson Briere was dismissed from the Mercyhurst University men’s hockey team, a Division 1 team in the NCAA, after surveillance video footage emerged of his having pushed an unoccupied wheelchair down the stairs of Sullivan’s Pub in Erie, Pennsylvania. He would be charged with second-degree criminal mischief and disorderly conduct. 

He would offer the following apology: 

"I am deeply sorry for my behavior on Saturday. There is no excuse for my actions, and I will do whatever I can to make up for this serious lack of judgment.”

And while he's certainly now considered a pariah, he's still attempting to salvage his playing career after having scored 23 goals and 36 assists in his time with Mercyhurst. According to a report released earlier today, he's entered the NCAA Division I transfer portal. 

His dismissal from Mercyhurst is not the first time that Briere has been kicked off a team. The same thing happened in 2019 with his removal from Arizona State’s hockey club for what was described as a violation of team rules. 

"I wasn't taking hockey seriously," Briere told the Times-News in 2021 about his time in Arizona. "That was something that wasn't going to work out, and I wanted to find somewhere I could play my style of hockey."
