Playing career

Mulock played junior ice hockey with the Vancouver Giants of the Western Hockey League during the 2001–02 and 2002–03 seasons. The next year he joined the Regina Pats. 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.

Mulock left Berlin after the 2015–16 season and signed a one-year contract with fellow DEL side Kölner Haie on April 20, 2016.[2] Used primarily in a defensive checking role, Mulock recorded a career low in registering just 2 goals and 9 points in 46 games during the 2017–18 season.
