After completing his college career, Maier signed with the Calgary Stampeders on May 5, 2020.[3] However, he did not play in 2020 due to the cancellation of the 2020 CFL season.
Upon the conclusion of training camp for the 2021 season, Maier was placed on the injured list for week 1 and was then on the reserve roster for week 2.[4] The Stampeders' incumbent starting quarterback, Bo Levi Mitchell, was injured in week 1 and played through the injury in week 2, but was ultimately placed on the 6-game injured list after the second game of the season.[5] Following a competition in practice, Maier was named the team's starting quarterback over Michael O'Connor for the team's August 20, 2021 game against the Montreal Alouettes.[5] In the win over the Alouettes, he completed 16 of 29 pass attempts for two interceptions and completed his first touchdown pass on a four-yard throw to Kamar Jorden.[6] On September 6, 2021, Maier became the first quarterback in Canadian Football League history to throw for over 300 passing yards in each of his first three career starts.[7]
In his second year in the league Maier was once again the backup to Bo Levi Mitchell. However, in Week 11 he replaced Mitchell in the second half and led the Stamps to victory over the Toronto Argonauts.[8] Maier was named the starting quarterback the following week.[9] Maier continued to be the starter late into the season, helping the team clinch a playoff berth.[10] On September 27, 2022 the Stampeders and Maier agreed to a two-year contract extension.[11]
