A heartbreaking clarification has emerged in the Matthew Mayich situation. ๐
After revealing that the 21-year-old St. Louis Blues prospect has โzero chance of recovery,โ his familyโs attorney, Robert Carey, has now clarified that describing Mayich as being in a coma is no longer accurate.
Carey explained:
โA coma indicates deep unconsciousness and recovery is possible. His body ceased functioning in a fundamental way, and this condition is irreversible.โ
That makes the situation even more devastating than many first understood.
Mayich collapsed during an Arizona State hockey workout on Aug. 20 and has remained hospitalized ever since.
For now, the focus remains on Matthew, his family, and everyone close to him.
Absolutely heartbreaking.
Will blackouts be an issue? I am a Prime member, and would be quite upset if I paid for the plan and then couldn't watch our team. Southeastern NC resident.
Lots of confusion regarding whether an Amazon Prime membership gets you HHN for free. The answer is no โ HNN isnโt on โAmazon Prime,โ itโs on Prime Video, which is the interface Amazon uses for their Fire devices that plug into or come with your TV. Anyone can have a Fire device to use to access streaming apps, but you often need to subscribe to those apps (which you will need to do with HHN).

"I'm excited to see how we're going to respond. We've got a lot of tough guys. Really tough football team. It starts with Coach Harrell and what he's instilled in us."

Matthew Mayichโs family has received the update nobody wanted to hear. ๐
According to Robert โRobโ Carey, the attorney representing Mayichโs family, the 21-year-old St. Louis Blues prospect now has โzero chance of recoveryโ after collapsing during an Arizona State hockey workout on Aug. 20.
Carey says he has already interviewed multiple ASU players and is accusing the school of failing to properly investigate what happened. He is calling for members of the hockey staff to be placed on administrative leave while the circumstances surrounding the workout are reviewed.
He also says his firm plans to pursue emails, text messages and video connected to the incident.
ASU has said it is reviewing what happened, but has not publicly accepted the family attorneyโs allegations.
Mayich has remained in a coma since the collapse.
At this point, this is no longer just a hockey story. It is an absolutely heartbreaking situation for a 21-year-old and his family.
Thinking of Matthew and everyone close to him.
"If there's a team to go in there and upset somebody, it's the Pirates."
Many players will be debuting in an ECU uniform on Saturday, but the team that takes the field won't be intimidated, or lacking experience.

Rod choosing to have a cheat day and take Tripp with him all around Raleigh is exactly how I would expect him to celebrate his day with the cup.
The videos coming out today from all around the area is pretty special.
Rod continuing to give back to the community.
He might have been known as Optimus Prime to most people, but i'll always remember Peter Cullen as the voice of Eeyore in Winnie Pooh, especially New Adventures.
Rest in Peace Peter, rest in peace ๐๏ธ
Filmed five days ago at Hope Springs Shelter. The man is Robert, 45. Came in to look at dogs. No intention of adopting. Just exploring. Spent thirty-five minutes with a dog named Sam. Four-year-old mixed breed. Surrendered six times. Notes said โextreme separation anxiety" and "inappropriate attachment behavior."
Robert sat with Sam. Played. Sam seemed okay. Somewhat nervous but manageable. Visit ended. Robert stood up to leave.
Sam's entire demeanor changed in an instant. Didn't bark. Didn't growl. Just jumped. Straight up like a child jumping to be picked up. Climbed Robert's body. All four legs wrapped around Robert's torso like steel bands. Face buried deep in Robert's neck. Then went completely rigid. Frozen solid like a statue. Robert tried to put him down. Sam's legs tightened impossibly tight. Claws dug through Robert's shirt drawing blood. Robert tried again. Sam held on harder. Started making this low, desperate whimpering sound. Robert stood there. Sam frozen against his chest like he was welded there. Fifteen minutes passed.
Twenty minutes. Robert finally said to staff:
"I can't do this. ! can't physically put him down and I can't walk away from someone this terrified of being abandoned again. Carried Sam to the front desk. Sam still frozen to his chest. Arms going completely
numb. Signed adoption papers. Drove home with Sam clinging to him. Had to pry Sam's
legs off to shift gears. Shelter director told: "Sam wasn't misbehaving. He was
holding on like someone who's been dropped six times and cannot survive being
dropped a seventh time. Robert couldn't leave because Sam physically wouldn't
release him." Robert sent a video Friday . Sam finally released his grip.
After being in Robert's house for nine hours.
Finally believed it was real. Finally believed he wasn't being abandoned again.
