Good point, but Grand Forks ain’t Tempe either. 

It’s not…but when UND’s whole experience is predicated on hell week and taking pride in how grueling it is (kids puking, etc), bad things can happen. Unless people know more than I’ve seen, we don’t know the circumstances, precautions taken, or situation at ASU. If this happened in UND’s Ironman would we be screaming for Jax and staffs heads on pikes? Or maybe we’d give some benefit of the doubt until the facts come out..

Eg: This could’ve been a congenital issue or something completely unrelated to the temperature or staff’s handling- that stuff happens. So I’ll be hoping the kid fully recovers and holding judgement and pitchforks until negligence is confirmed.

ASU player is Matthew Mayich, a transfer from Clarkson.
Had a "cardiac event" and is still in a coma.
Tough situation all around.

I hate how they paywall some of their stuff

Probably not the right place to ask. Denver game vs UND at Magness. How do you go about getting tickets for that series? My middle son just moved to Westminster and I would like to take him to the game in December. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

They might be "nicer" if you use a Westminster CO address ...

Good advice!- Thanks

That's probably not going to help with recruiting.

Quote

Construction on Northeastern's new multi-purpose arena has been delayed until "spring or summer" of 2029, according to an email obtained by The Huntington News. Originally, the facility, which will be the new home for Northeastern hockey, was to open in Fall of 2028.

As a result, Northeastern will be without a home arena for another three seasons instead of two. This upcoming season, Northeastern is playing "home" games at various other nearby venues.

It's free to all.

These companies and groups that do these military style leadership courses/workouts are scams. Athletic departments at schools shouldn't use these and save the money for better things. I've seen countless videos of these courses, and they could care less about safety.

Our team does this every year too

I think there needs to be a little nuance to the discussion still at this point to draw any specific conclusions.

 

First off - really hope the kid can pull through and get out of this alive. Just a terrible situation for obviously him, his family, and teammates

 

In general there were likely some mistakes made with this workout but until we know the actual level of difficulty, how all the players were reacting to it, health conditions, etc, its hard to say with certainty IMO to what degree everyone is at fault. I've seen it reported both ways that he collapsed from a heat related illness and also from a cardiac event so that aspect as far as I've seen isn't even certain. (and unfortunately it seems when most of these cardiac events happen it was unknown to anyone involved that the athlete was at risk)
