Also, Briere The Younger's story is that he "partied too hard" which led to his dismissal from ASU. I call bullshit on that. If partying too hard got you kicked off the team there'd be no college athletes left. He had to have done something (or some things) that was pretty egregious, especially considering he had a name that carries some clout for a successful, but low-profile NCAA Division I hockey program.
I tell ya what if that were my kid I'd be taking the Red-Eye to Mercyhurst and yanking him outta there in the most humiliating and public way possible, drag him home and let him stew on some bunk-ass community school club team.
Agreed on the partying too hard story. I went to ASU for a year. Everybody partied too hard there, especially athletes. And I'm sure they had an eye to daddy's money for donations, but felt it was better to kick the kid out. There's a coverup story on it's way out soon.
All kids do dumb stuff. Damaging someone's wheelchair isn't usually on the option list. The kid is trash. If he was my kid, he wouldn't even get to play local hockey. I'd have him doing hard labor around the family mansion if I was Briere. Now that he's an NHL GM, maybe doing menial jobs around the Flyers' rink. Let him see how people live when they weren't born into an NHL family. Spoiled little shit. But Danny Briere himself always looked like a smug little shit to me. Wouldn't surprise me if stories about his youthful exploits start finding their way into the public light.
