Arizona State University hockey player Matthew Mayich remains hospitalized in a coma nearly two weeks after collapsing during an outdoor team workout in Tempe on Aug. 20. The family's attorney described his condition to reporters in blunt terms, telling the Arizona Republic that the 21-year-old defenseman has no chance of recovery. Mayich, a St. Louis Blues draft pick who transferred from Clarkson University, has been moved to Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix.

Emergency responders were called to a report of heat-related illness. The university says it is reviewing the session. No medical diagnosis has been released, and no hospital or agency has confirmed a cause.
