Playing career
[edit]Maurer made his National League debut playing with EV Zug during the 2005–06 NLA season.[1] The same season with the Swiss junior selection, he won the WJC-U18 D1, allowing Switzerland to be promoted to the elite group. During the World Junior Championship of 2007, he broke his neck in a game against Finland.[2]
On December 22, 2008, he signed with Genève-Servette HC for the 2009-2010 season. During this season, he was loaned to Lausanne HC for the end of the playoffs and won the LNB championship.
On March 22, 2010, Maurer signed a two-year contract with SC Rapperswil-Jona Lakers.[3]
On November 19, 2011, during a match against HC Davos, he suffered a wrist injury which ended his season.[4]
On December 12, 2011, he signed a contract which linked him to ZSC Lions until the summer of 2014.[5] During the Spengler Cup of 2012, he was loaned to Adler Mannheim. He played 3 games with them, obtaining no points and 4 minutes of penalties. Mannheim was eliminated in the quarter-finals by HC Fribourg-Gottéron.[6]
While he signed a contract with HC Lugano a few days earlier for the next two seasons, he was traded by ZSC Lions to Lugano in return for Dan Fritsche.[7][8] On January 4, 2014, during a match against Lausanne HC, a puck was deflected into the public. His wife, Sabrina, was hit in the head and lost an eye. Maurer and his wife must file a lawsuit against HC Lugano, which refuses to take responsibility, due to the fact that Sabrina had not bought her ticket.[9]
On January 7, 2015, despite a contract valid for one more season with HC Lugano, Maurer did not see himself continuing with this club and signed with EHC Biel for the next two seasons.[10] On December 12, 2016, he extended for two years with EHC Biel.[11] On December 24, 2017, Maurer detains a thief in the streets of Zug until the police intervene.[12]
Coming to the end of his contract, Maurer wishes to extend his adventure with Biel, but the sports director does not offer him a sufficient salary in his eyes.[13] On January 17, 2019, Maurer agreed to a two-year contract for the 2019/20 and 2020/21 season to return to Genève-Servette HC.[14]
On June 2, 2020, Maurer was signed to an early one-year contract extension by Servette through the 2021/22 season.[15]
On 20 February 2022, he was signed to a two-years contract extension by Servette.[16] Finalist the previous season, Genève-Servette becomes champion during the season 2022-23.[17]
Lacking playing time, Maurer is loaned to SC Bern at the beginning of December 2023.[18] This loan results in a transfer until the end of the season.[19] Although not having played in the final of the CHL, Maurer played 7 games for Geneva in this competition and the club gave him a medal and included him in the champion squad of 2023-24.[20]
On June 19, 2024, Maurer signed with HC Ajoie for one season.[21]
On June 13, 2025, Maurer signed a one-year contract with HC Sierre.[22]
