During the World Junior Championship of 2007, he broke his neck in a game against the 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.
Le 25 mars 2010, Maurer signe un contrat pour les deux prochaines saisons avec le 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]
