After being recommended by his Tigers linemate Sean Bergenheim, Mapletoft signed with Jokerit in the Finnish SM-liiga for the 2005–06 season, but after a disappointing early season, the team invoked a buyout clause in his contract at the beginning of November 2005, ending his season with Jokerit.[1][2] He subsequently signed with Södertälje SK in the Swedish Elitserien.[3] The following summer, he signed a one-year contract with the Ottawa Senators.[4] He played for the EC VSV in the Austrian league in 2008/09.

He played two seasons for the Straubing Tigers of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga.
