Blues prospect Matthew Mayich is still in the hospital, undergoing medical treatment right now, after he collapsed during an outdoor workout last Thursday at Arizona State. This isn’t just a minor scare, folks, this is a serious situation that has the entire hockey world focused on his recovery.
Collapsed During ASU Workout: What We Know
The St. Louis Blues dropped the bombshell news in a statement on Wednesday. They didn’t just report it, though, they directly shared their heartfelt prayers for Mayich’s “comfort and recovery.” You know that means the team is really feeling this one. ASU’s own vice president of media relations, Chris Fiscus, then gave the word to The Athletic’s Katie Strang and Jeremy Rutherford, confirming that one of their student-athletes was still hospitalized as of Tuesday. Mayich has been there for days, and the continued treatment highlights the gravity of what happened.
ASU Is Reviewing The Workout That Led To This
Fiscus also explicitly stated that “the university is reviewing the circumstances surrounding the workout.” When a university starts “reviewing the circumstances,” you know it’s not business as usual. That raises so many questions about what exactly happened during that outdoor session. Mayich, who’s just 21 years old, was drafted by the Blues in 2023. He’s had quite the journey already, playing four seasons in the OHL before his freshman NCAA season at Clarkson, and then transferring to ASU. A young player with a promising career suddenly facing this.
This is a deeply concerning situation, with a young athlete’s health front and center. The Blues are praying, ASU is investigating, and Matthew Mayich is still undergoing medical treatment. The organization has said this article will be updated soon to provide more information and analysis, and we’ll be watching for every update.
