Arizona State Asks Former State Chief Justice to Lead Independent Review of Canadian Hockey Player’s Collapse

The review will examine ASU’s planning and safety practices after the 21-year-old player collapsed during an outdoor workout and is unlikely to recover.

  • Arizona State University appointed former Arizona Supreme Court Chief Justice Scott Bales to lead an independent review into the collapse of hockey player Matthew Mayich during a team workout in August.
  • Following a preliminary report, Arizona State placed hockey coach Greg Powers on administrative leave Wednesday after staff failed to "submit a plan of training activities for review by ASU's strength and conditioning coaches prior to the event."
  • Seven teammates hired an attorney to express concerns that Mayich was visibly disoriented without water and that protocols, including calling 911, were not followed during the workout.
  • The Mayich family welcomed Bales' appointment but criticized the scope, arguing the review should investigate responsibility "not to the office whose own review has missed too much."
  • Hockey coach Greg Powers will not join the team for its season opener at Lindenwood on Friday, as athletic director Graham Rossini stated, "Our focus continues to be on Matthew and his family.
