Professional

He was not drafted into the NHL, so he made his jump to professional hockey by joining the Elmira Jackals in the 2010–11 ECHL season. That season, he also played for the South Carolina Stingrays, Cincinnati Cyclones, and Utah Grizzlies. The following season, he played for the Arizona Sundogs of the Central Hockey League, before moving back to the ECHL in 2012 with the Alaska Aces. After a short stay in Alaska, he decided to try his luck abroad and joined GKS Katowice for one game.

In 2013, he signed a one-year contract with Ciarko PBS Bank KH Sanok. In addition to winning the playoff championship with the team, he led the league in assists (54) and points (81) and was named the Polish League's Best Player.[1]

In August 2014, he joined Russian club, Toros Neftekamsk of the VHL, where he won the VHL Championship.

In August 2015, he underwent a successful trial with the Espoo Blues of Liiga, and signed a one-year contract.[2][3] Upon the conclusion of the 2015–16 season, he moved on to the KHL, signing with Medvescak Zagreb in July 2016.[4]

During the 2018–19 season, Mahbod played in 8 games with HC Vítkovice Ridera before leaving the Czech Extraliga in agreeing to a contract for the remainder of the season with German outfit, Krefeld Pinguine of the DEL on November 30, 2018.[5] Mahbob contributed with 6 assists in 16 games with the Pinguine before leaving at the conclusion of the year.[6]
