ASU hockey player collapses in grueling offseason workout; family lawyer says recovery unlikely
Arizona State hockey player Matthew Mayich collapsed and fell into a coma after an Aug. 20 on-campus offseason workout; his family’s lawyer says there is a zero chance of recovery as ASU reviews the incident and relatives press for an independent investigation. Mayich, a Blues draft pick who played for the Ottawa 67’s and Clarkson before transferring to ASU for 2026-27, reportedly showed signs of struggle during a heat-heavy, lengthy session with little water break.
