Arizona State’s hockey program faces its biggest crisis yet as seven players allege the university lied about the events that left Matthew Mayich hospitalized. With claims of ignored heat illness protocols, missing cold tanks, and a lack of basic water breaks, questions swirl about responsibility and athlete safety at ASU. Did the athletic department try to cover up institutional failures while a player’s future hangs in the balance? The internal review’s no-fault conclusion clashes with a damning 26-page anonymous player letter, putting coaches and leadership—including Graham Rossini and Greg Powers—under fire. As pressure mounts for accountability, the Sun Devils’ reputation and the future of their hockey team may depend on whether real change or further controversy results from this breaking scandal.
