He spent his professional career almost exclusively in Germany and mostly played in lower-class leagues. For the Wedemark Scorpions he completed 50 appearances in the German Ice Hockey League .

As a trainer and functionary

Mahon began his coaching career in 2001 as an assistant at the University of Toronto and held that post until July 2002. Between August 2002 and February 2004 he was the head coach of the Japanese club Nikko IceBucks .

In March 2004 Mahon became head coach of the Japanese national team and worked in other functions for the Japanese association, including as coach of the junior national team. In August 2015 Mahon first came to the Eisbären Berlin as an intern and was then assistant trainer until January 2016.

On January 30, 2016, Mahon was hired by the Kölner Haien as sports director. At the beginning of February 2020 he was removed from office. During his tenure in office, the Cologne-based company attributed him to having “set the course in the overall sporting direction” and to having promoted the involvement of young players.
