What Greg Powers said about Matthew Mayich at ASU hockey media day
ASU coach Greg Powers declined to discuss at media day the workout that left hockey player Matthew Mayich hospitalized.
On September 23, ASU hockey coach Greg Powers addressed the media for the first time since Matthew Mayich's collapse during a team workout more than a month ago. Despite Mayich's prognosis being zero chance of recovery, Powers declined to take responsibility for the incident. The university's preliminary report showed that the coaching staff had failed to follow heat guidelines and policies for the workout, which led to Mayich's collapse.
Powers, however, did not identify anyone responsible for the failures. ASU's Senior Vice President James Rund proposed a panel of experts to recommend how the university should conduct outdoor athletic activities, but the report did not outline accountability measures. Powers emphasized the team's unity and their intention to play for Mayich, stating that players have been "so close and so tight-knit."
