Arizona State University (ASU) hockey coach Greg Powers has been placed on paid administrative leave after a letter from teammates of NHL prospect Matthew Mayich disputed aspects of the school's review into the Canadian player's collapse during a team workout last month.
What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
Mayich's parents, John and Christina Mayich, issued a statement on Tuesday agreeing with the players that the coaching staff should be placed on leave.
The 21-year-old Mayich, from Stoney Creek, Ont., collapsed during a workout on the first day the NCAA allows official activities.
“Our focus continues to be on Matthew and his family, and on our student-athletes to make sure they have the support they need during this time and as the season begins,” ASU athletic director Graham Rossini said in a statement.
"The head coach and his assistant coaches were all on the field on August 20, all remain in their positions, and together they decide our playing time, scholarship levels, and roster status," the players wrote in the letter.
