Arizona State University places the hockey coach on leave after a player collapses during a workout. Multiple outlets report that Matthew Mayich, a 21-year-old sophomore from Ontario, Canada, collapses during training on Aug. 20 and remains hospitalized.
NBC News adds that the workout takes place in hot conditions in Arizona and that Mayich suffers extreme heat-related illness. An attorney for Mayich’s family tells NBC that he is unlikely to recover. Other reports describe the collapse and ongoing hospitalization but do not add further prognoses or details.
The differing coverage focuses on available medical and legal context: NBC emphasizes suspected heatstroke and the family attorney’s assessment, while Yahoo Sports and CBS News primarily report the placement of the coach on leave and Mayich’s continued hospitalization following the Aug. 20 incident.
