Carson Brière, the son of Philadelphia Flyers general manager Daniel Brière, will enter a Pennsylvania program for first-time offenders after being charged for pushing an unoccupied wheelchair down a staircase.

Police in Erie, Pa., filed charges of criminal mischief, criminal conspiracy to commit mischief and disorderly conduct against the son of the retired Gatineau, Que., NHL star in March 2023.

Earlier that month, Carson Brière was seen on a surveillance video at the top of a staircase of a local bar, alongside another Mercyhurst University athlete, pushing the wheelchair down the steps.

He was dismissed from his team the following month.

    Ahh, for whatever reason I had assumed it was one of those wheelchairs you see in hospitals and the like that are fold-up and kinda just sit in the corner. Hadn’t thought it was actually somebody’s chair. Much more understandable now, especially considering it ruined the chair. Thank you for context!
