Connor Mesec was a key figure in reviving the MSU Bobcat hockey program during one of its most critical moments. In 2015, when the team was on the verge of folding, he helped lead a group of committed students who brought in BAHA Hockey Director Dave Weaver and rebuilt the program from the ground up. His lasting impact is still visible today through elements he helped create, including banners, jersey designs, the team website, game pucks, and foundational organizational processes. His #12 jersey was retired to honor his lasting impact.

His impact on the program is lasting, and his legacy is honored with the retirement of his #23 jersey.
