Arizona State Report Shows Training Plan Not Submitted Before Hockey Player's Collapse

A preliminary report says coaches did not submit the workout plan for review, and the university is investigating after Matthew Mayich collapsed.

  • On Tuesday, Arizona State University released a preliminary report confirming the school failed to vet the training plan for an August 20 outdoor workout during which hockey player Matthew Mayich collapsed.
  • Coaches allowed ex-Green Beret Tim Ziesel to lead the three-day team-building event based on a handshake agreement, failing to submit required activity plans to strength and conditioning staff for review.
  • Ignoring exertional heat illness policies mandating environmental monitoring and cold-water immersion tubs, staff left Mayich lying on the ground while applying only wet towels instead of immediate ice immersion.
  • Family attorney Rob Carey denounced the university's report as a "whitewash," emphasizing that Mayich remains in a coma and is unlikely to recover from exertional heat stroke.
  • ASU President Michael Crow is establishing a blue-ribbon advisory panel to recommend changes to outdoor athletic programs, while the ASU Police Department prepares an investigation report for the Maricopa County Attorney's Office.
