ASU Hockey Player Remains Hospitalized Days After Outdoor Heat Workout

ASU is reviewing the workout as temperatures neared 90 degrees and Mayich’s family and supporters held vigils and prayer services.

  • On Thursday, Arizona State University hockey player Matthew Mayich collapsed during an outdoor workout at the school's track, leaving the sophomore defenseman hospitalized.
  • Phoenix temperatures reached approximately 88 degrees with 46% humidity at the Joe Selleh Track when Mayich collapsed, despite monsoon storms having cooled the area overnight.
  • Emergency physician Dr. Frank LoVecchio emphasized that even elite athletes struggle when pushed in Arizona's extreme heat: "It doesn't take long to burn brain cells," he said.
  • Community members and teammates held a candlelight vigil Tuesday to support Mayich, while the Canadian-Croatian Chamber organized a virtual prayer session on August 25.
  • ASU is reviewing whether the workout was an official team activity, informal gathering, or individual session, as Mayich remains hospitalized following a possible cardiac event.
