  "account": "Arizona State University named assistant coach Mike Corbett as their interim head coach for the hockey team's season-opening weekend, following head coach Greg Powers' placement on administrative leave due to the collapse of a 21-year-old player named Matthew Mayich. The university stated that an interim head coach will be appointed soon, but it remains unclear if Corbett was present during the outdoor workout where Mayich suffered his injury. Corbett, hired by ASU in 2024, is entering his third season with the team. Before joining ASU, he has been coaching since 1997, with most of his coaching experience taking place from 1997 to 2020. Corbett spent three seasons as an assistant coach at Quinnipiac Bobcats, contributing to their national championship in 2023. He also served as the head coach at Alabama-Huntsville for eight seasons from 2013 to 2020. ASU's hockey season will begin at Lindenwood in Maryland Heights, Missouri, on October 2-3.
