Early life, education, and hockey career[]
Born in West Vancouver, British Columbia, Mulholland attended Lake Superior State University on a hockey scholarship, playing as a forward and becoming Central Collegiate Hockey Association Rookie of the Year for the 1979–1980 season. Over the course of his collegiate career, he was a four-time CCHA All-Star and NCAA All-American.[1][2] Mulholland "led the [LSSU] Lakers in scoring during all four years", becoming "the only player to accomplish that feat at LSSU and NCAA Division 1 Hockey". During all 4 seasons that he played at LSSU, he was the highest goal-scorer, finishing his collegiate career with a 206-point total surpassed only by Jim Dowd and Sean Tallaire. Mulholland "also excelled in the classroom" throughout this time, "earning CCHA All-Academic honors in 1980-81, 1981-82 and 1982-83; and was also an Academic All-American in 1982-83". In 2016, Mulholland was named to the 1976-86 Laker Hockey All-Decade Team as part of the 50th anniversary of the school's hockey program, receiving the most fan ballots for a forward in that decade.
After graduating, Mulholland played professional hockey during the 1983–1984 with Rögle BK in the Swedish Elite series. With Rögle BK, in Sweden, he played in 28 regular season games and two playoff games, scoring 49 points off 32 goals and 17 assists during the regular season, leading the South Division in scoring and one point off an assist in the playoffs. After Rögle BK, Mulholland signed as free agent with the NHL Calgary Flames, playing for their Central Hockey League affiliate farm team, the Colorado Flames. Following that season, he retired from the sport and returned to school to pursue his medical degree and become a physician.[2]
Mulholland attended the University of Toronto Medical School where he graduated in 1988. He completed his general and plastic surgery training at the University of Toronto and became certified by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada in 1994.[2]
