Story summary
Arizona State is in discussions with Dave Hakstol, a current assistant coach for the Colorado Avalanche, to become their interim hockey coach. This move comes after placing coach Greg Powers on administrative leave following an incident where 21-year-old Matthew Mayich collapsed during an outdoor workout and remains on life support due to external heat stroke. The Avalanche have given Hakstol permission to speak with Arizona State about the position, and a decision could be made later this week.
Hakstol has extensive experience in coaching at both collegiate and professional levels, having served as head coach of North Dakota for 15 seasons and led teams like the Philadelphia Flyers and Seattle Kraken in the NHL. His current role with the Avalanche includes overseeing their power play unit.
