The son of former Gatineau, Que., hockey great Daniel Brière says he's "deeply sorry" for his actions after he was captured on camera pushing a wheelchair down a set of stairs.
The incident involving Carson Brière, a hockey player at Mercyhurst University in Erie, Pa., happened at a bar on the weekend.
In a security camera video shared widely online, the younger Brière is seen chatting with another person at the top of a narrow staircase, next to an unoccupied wheelchair.
Brière sits briefly in the chair, stands up, and then shoves it down the stairs before returning to the bar's packed dance floor. "I am deeply sorry for my behaviour on Saturday," wrote Brière in a statement. "There is no excuse for my actions, and I will do whatever I can to make up for this serious lack of judgment." Daniel Brière scored 696 regular season points over the course of his 17-year NHL career, spending time with Buffalo, Phoenix, Montreal, Colorado and Philadelphia.
