  "account": "Matthew Mayich, ASU's defenseman, was largely absent from the pregame activities during the Sun Devils' home opener against Holy Cross on Friday, October 9. Fans, however, showed their support for him through yellow ribbons and decals displaying \"MM27.\" Head coach Mike Corbett wore the yellow pin during a military-style workout that left Mayich in critical condition on August 20. After the 2-1 loss, Corbett acknowledged the team's pain, stating that they were human beings who hurt too. He emphasized that the staff, including his own, was affected by Mayich's situation and urged people to understand their emotions. The Arizona State hockey team went on to win the home opener, but they will face Holy Cross again on Saturday, October 10, at 3 p.m. MST in their next game.",
