Filip Mesar, selected by the Montreal Canadiens in the first round of 2022, immediately joined the Kitchener Rangers in the OHL.
He recorded 51 points in 52 games in his first season, followed by 52 points in 45 games the next year, albeit without significant improvement.
Later, in an interview with Tomas Prokop of Dennik Sports, he attempted to repair his image by stating he actively assists his younger teammates. He aims to crack the Laval Rocket lineup this season after two unsuccessful tries.
