Seven current Arizona State men’s hockey players call for the school to place their coach, Matthew Mayich, on administrative leave, disputing the university’s account of a teammate’s collapse during an Aug. 20 workout. The players submit a 26-page letter to President Michael Crow and argue the school’s internal review contains multiple inaccuracies.
According to both outlets, the dispute centers on findings from ASU’s review into what happened around the collapse. The players contend that the review’s conclusions do not align with their understanding of events during the workout. The reports describe the letter as challenging specific aspects of the university’s investigation rather than simply raising general concerns.
While the outlets broadly agree on the players’ request and the existence of a detailed letter to the president, they frame the issue in different terms: one emphasizes the “damning” nature of the document, while the other focuses on the formal call for administrative leave. Neither source indicates a final outcome from ASU in response to the players’ allegations.
