His cousin Zachery Bennett also plays ice hockey.

Playing career

Junior

Growing up in Newfoundland, Mercer played for the Tri Pen Ice U15 AAA in the Newfoundland Bantam AAA league. After recording 68 points in 24 games, Mercer chose to play prep hockey with the Bishop's College School under-18 varsity team at the age of 15. He chose to leave his home province in part to increase his playing ability and join his cousin. In his first season at Bishop, he finished third in scoring with 18 goals and 30 assists through 51 games to earn a high ranking by the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League's (QMJHL) Central Scouting. Mercer was eventually drafted eighth overall by the Drummondville Voltigeurs in the 2017 QMJHL Draft.

As a rookie in the QMJHL, Mercer recorded 26 points through 68 games. During the season, he was selected for Team Canada's Black U17 team at the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge. In the 2019–20 season, he finished with 60 points in 42 games and was nominated for the Michael Bossy Trophy.

Professional

On December 24, 2020, Mercer was signed to a three-year, entry-level contract by the New Jersey Devils. He made his NHL debut the following season on October 15, 2021, against the Chicago Blackhawks. During the game, he recorded his first career NHL assist on a goal by Andreas Johnsson. On October 19, Mercer scored his first NHL goal against the Seattle Kraken. He would finish his rookie season with 42 points, and led the team in games played with 82.
