Wheelchair Pushing Incidents Spark Outrage in Hockey Community
TL;DR Summary
Sydney Benes, a disabled woman who lost her legs in a car accident, has spoken out about the incident where her wheelchair was thrown down the stairs by Carson Brière, son of NHL star Daniel Brière, at Sullivan's Irish Pub in Erie, Pennsylvania. Brière has since apologized for his actions, and Mercyhurst University has suspended him and two other student-athletes from sports activities. A GoFundMe was set up for Benes, which raised over $8,000 before being closed. Benes plans to use the money to replace or repair her chair and donate any remaining amount to other handicap people.
