Canice Maher (born 1991) is an Irish former hurler. At club level he played with St Martin's and St Jude's. Maher lined out at inter-county level with both the Kilkenny and Dublin senior hurling teams.
Maher first came to hurling prominence as a member of the Castlecomer Community School team that won the Leinster Colleges Championship in 2007.[1] He simultaneously lined out with the St Martin's club at juvenile and underage levels before eventually progressing onto the club's senior team. Maher first appeared on the inter-county scene as a member of the Kilkenny minor hurling team that beat Galway in the 2008 All-Ireland minor final before later captaining the team in his second and final season.[2]
Maher was also a member of the extended panel of the Kilkenny under-21 hurling team that lost out to Clare in the 2012 All-Ireland under-21 final, having earlier lined out for the senior team in the 2011 Walsh Cup.[3] After transferring to the St Jude's club, Maher also earned selection to the Dublin senior hurling team.[4] He later joined the East Cavan Gaels club and made his Cavan senior hurling team debut in 2022.[5]
