''Thank you to everyone who was part of my hockey career. It was a privilege to play in the NHL. Thank you to each organization I played for. @senators @tblightning @philadelphiaflyers @nhlbruins @buffalosabres @hc_sibir @hcslovan @dukla.trencin @hk95povazskabystrica @hockeyslovakia

He left the NHL at the age of 30 after the 2014-15 season, spending four years in the KHL before returning home to play in the Slovakian Extraleague.
Meszaros skated in just 14 games and collected 2 goals and 3 assists.
