Arizona State University is investigating the circumstances around Matthew Mayich’s collapse last Thursday
The University is looking into a workout that led to Mayich’s collapse and subsequent hospitalization, according to a report from The Athletic’s Kate Strand and Jeremy Rutherford on Tuesday
Mayich, 21, is a defenceman on the Arizona State hockey team and was drafted in the sixth round of the 2023 NHL Draft by the St. Louis Blues
“A student-athlete who collapsed during an outdoor exercise Thursday morning remains hospitalized,” ASU vice president of media relations Chris Fiscus told The Athletic. “The student-athlete, a member of the ASU hockey team, is not being named by the university because of privacy interests. The university is reviewing the circumstances surrounding the workout.”
Fiscus did not say whether the workout was sanctioned by the ASU hockey team
Per The Athletic‘s report, “Tempe Fire Medical Rescue sent crews to 400 S. Rural Road, the address for Sun Angel Stadium, at 8:31 a.m. Thursday, after receiving a report of a ‘heat-related illness.’ A patient was treated there and transported to a nearby hospital, the fire department said.”
Mayich has not signed an entry-level deal with St. Louis
He spent his freshman season at Clarkson University in 2025-26, scoring seven goals and 15 points in 34 games
Mayich announced at the end of the season that he would be transferring to Arizona State for 2026-27
Before heading to college hockey, Mayich spent four seasons with the OHL’s Ottawa 67’s
