After the war, McMahon returned to the pitch, playing part of the season for the Chicago Maroons in the newly established North American Soccer Football League in nineteen forty-six. He represented Eastern Canada selects in matches against the Eastern United States in nineteen forty-seven and nineteen forty-eight, and even played against Scotland in nineteen forty-nine. His remarkable performance in nineteen forty-eight earned him a Canadian championship medal with Montréal Carsteel FC, where he set a local record by scoring seventy-one goals, surpassing Eddie MacLaine's previous record of sixty goals on September twenty-fifth.
