CFL

Winnipeg Blue Bombers

On May 1, 2014, Maher signed a contract with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League (CFL).[6] He played in two pre-season games for the Bombers before being released by the team due to the restrictions on the number of national and international players on the team's roster.[7]

A few weeks after being released by Winnipeg he signed with the Ottawa Redblacks.[7] In week four of the season, Maher was named the CFL's Special Teams Player of the Week after going 6-for-6 on field goals, scoring all the Redblacks' points in an 18-17 decision over the Toronto Argonauts. The win marked the expansion club's first-ever win.[8] Maher was released by the Redblacks on May 13, 2015. This followed an injury suffered in the prior month, before the start of training camp.[9]
