Parents of Arizona State Hockey Player Who Collapsed Call for Coaches to Be Placed on Leave
Seven anonymous players say the coaching staff should be suspended after Matthew Mayich collapsed during an unsanctioned workout and remains in critical condition.
- On Monday, seven anonymous Arizona State University hockey players sent a letter to President Michael Crow demanding that head coach Greg Powers and his staff be placed on administrative leave following teammate Matthew Mayich's August 20 collapse.
- The players' letter disputes Senior Vice President James Rund's internal report, alleging the August 20 workout lasted 75 minutes with inadequate water access and unauthorized consultant Tim Ziesel leading the session without proper vetting under ASU policy.
- Citing fear of retaliation, the players urged Crow to appoint an interim coaching staff, naming former Arizona Coyotes captain Shane Doan as "an excellent candidate" and requesting an investigation by "an agency outside the university."
- Arizona State University officials have not placed any staff on leave, stating "we have nothing else to add at this time," even as the team prepares for its season opener against Lindenwood this Friday.
- Matthew Mayich remains hospitalized with "zero chance of recovery" after suffering exertional heatstroke, as players demand the university enforce safety measures including on-field temperature monitoring before future outdoor conditioning sessions.
