2008-09: Mersch joined the US National Development Team Program’s U-17 squad after competing for Team Illinois the previous year. In 65 games he was the team’s fourth-leading scorer with 27 goals with 19 assists and had 58 PMs. Mersch committed to attending the University of Wisconsin in 2010-11.
2009-10: Mersch skated in 49 games with the US National Development Team U18 program while accelerating his studies at Ann Arbor’s Pioneer High School. He struggled offensively, scoring 4 goals with 10 assists and 30 PMs while developing a more well-rounded game. Mersch graduated high school in three years to be able to play college hockey rather in 2010-11 than spending a season in the USHL.
2010-11: Mersch forced his way into full-time role with Wisconsin as an 18-year-old freshman; skating in 41 games and providing both timely offense and determined physical play. Mersch scored 8 goals with 11 assists and was +23 with 32 PMs as the Badgers finished seventh in the WCHA during a roller coaster season. The Badgers won 12 of 13 games during one mid-season stretch (including splitting a series with eventual national champion Minnesota-Duluth) but then won just two of their last 11 games.
