Interntaional[]

Mezin gained international attention in 2002 as a member of the Belarus national men's ice hockey team at the 2002 Winter Olympics. Despite not winning a game in the Group D round robin, Belarus beat the Sweden national men's ice hockey team in the final round. Mezin was stellar, holding a star-laden Swedish team to only 3 goals on over 50 shots. The game was won by Belarus late in the third through a long shot gaffe made by Tommy Salo in the Swedish net. Belarus ended up finishing in fourth place.

On October 1, 2008, Mezin and Metallurg Magnitogorsk faced the New York Rangers of the NHL in the inaugural Victoria Cup. Mezin stopped 40 out of 44 shots, playing a very respectable game in the 4-3 loss.
