Awful Announcing • • sports

Key Points:

  • Arizona State University hockey player Matthew Mayich remains on life support after collapsing during a rigorous workout led by a former Green Beret at the school's football stadium in August.
  • A university review found no assigned responsibility for Mayich's collapse, but revealed that ASU hockey coaches did not review the intense workout; head coach Greg Powers has not addressed the incident publicly and remains in his position.
  • During a recent press conference, investigative reporter Katie Strang pressed Powers on accountability and the circumstances surrounding Mayich's hospitalization, but he declined to answer detailed questions citing ongoing investigations.
  • Powers issued a brief statement expressing support for Mayich and his family and emphasized the team's focus on rink work, while distancing himself from the workout routine, which he said is managed by the strength and conditioning coach.
  • The confrontation highlighted tensions between the media and the ASU hockey program as questions remain about the safety protocols and coaching oversight related to the incident.
