Workout put this college hockey player in critical condition. He deserves so much better from Arizona State.
xCruzo Brief
Arizona State’s men’s hockey program is facing scrutiny after player Matthew Mayich, a St. Louis Blues prospect and Ontario native, was left in critical condition following a workout on Aug. 20 in Tempe, Arizona. Reportedly led by former Green Beret Tim Ziesel, the session lasted about 45 minutes and included squats, planks, push-ups, flutter kicks, and fireman carries, but reportedly omitted water breaks. Mayich collapsed late in the workout and was taken to a local hospital, where he was treated for exertional heat stroke. The family says he remains unlikely to recover, while ASU has downplayed the workout’s role and said it is reviewing facts and protocols.
