During the next two seasons he played with the Surrey Eagles of the British Columbia Hockey League. He played his final season of junior hockey in 2005–06 with the Kamloops Blazers. After six season of juniors, Mulock joined Bad Toelz EC of the German third-tier Oberliga. He played with Bad Tölz for three seasons before joining Eisbären Berlin of the German elite league Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL) in 2009. In his first season with Berlin in 2009–10, Mulock scored 20 goals to be selected as the DEL's rookie of the year.[1] He won three straight German championships with the Eisbären squad from 2011 to 2013.
