After starting in the Canadian youth league Québec Major Junior Hockey League , Malo moved to SG Netphen / Essen in 1983, for which he scored 58 goals in 22 games. From there he went to the Schalker Haien in the 2nd Bundesliga ice hockey , before the Bundesliga club ECD Iserlohn signed him in 1986 . When this went bankrupt in December 1987, the then Bundesliga promoted BSC Preussen brought him to the Spree. With his 32 scorer points in the last 24 games of the season, he played a major role in ensuring that the Prussians, who were threatened with relegation, were able to keep the class over the relegation round. Until he left a decade later, Malo was one of the pillars of the team alongside Georg Holzmann , John Chabot , Klaus Merk , Tom O'Regan , Jürgen Rumrich and Tony Tanti , which from 1991 to 1995 as BSC Preussen and 1996 as Preussen Devils reached the semi-finals in the playoffs of the German ice hockey championship six times in a row. When he left the team, which had meanwhile been renamed Berlin Capitals, in 1997, he had scored 424 points for the Berliners in 453 league and playoff games. After four years at the second-class EC Bad Nauheim , Gaétan Malo had to end his professional career due to injury in 2001 and moved with his family to his hometown of Saint-Hyacinthe , where he has been working as a golf instructor ever since .
