Arizona State hockey player Matthew Mayich remains hospitalized after collapsing during workout
Summary

St. Louis Blues prospect Matthew Mayich remains in a coma at the Barrow Neurological Institute nearly two weeks after suffering a medical emergency during an off-campus team workout. The 21-year-old collapsed on August 20 at the Joe Selleh Track in Tempe, Arizona, during a 50-minute session led by an external trainer. Attorneys representing the family have disputed the official account provided by Arizona State, alleging that athletes were subjected to intensive exercise without adequate breaks or hydration.

The university has stated it will conduct a thorough review of the incident, while the St. Louis Blues organization has acknowledged the situation and expressed support for the player.
