Earlier today Mercyhurst University where Carson plays hockey, released a statement promising to get to the bottom of the situation involving the student athlete.




Now approximately 24 hours after the video leaked both Flyer's General Manager Daniel Briere and his son Carson have officially released a statement on the matter.

Danny Briere statement:


Carson followed up his father's statement with a statement of his own:



Reports have already stated that Briere has been banned from the establishment that this incident occurred at. But it also appears all local facilities are in the process of banning the player.


Hopefully Carson learns from this incident and becomes a better person for it.

A GoFundMe page has already manager to raise enough money to replace the destroyer wheel chair.
