His best result came in 2020 skipping his own team of Ryan McNeil Lamswood at third, Joel Krats at second and Nathan King at lead. The team finished the round robin and championship pool with an 8–2 record, which qualified them for the playoffs. They defeated Rylan Kleiter of Saskatchewan in the semifinal before coming up short to Jacques Gauthier's Manitoba rink in the final.[3] It was the first time since 2011 that Newfoundland and Labrador qualified for the playoffs. Also in his junior career, Bruce won a silver medal at the 2019 U Sports/Curling Canada University Curling Championships as third for Greg Blyde.[4]

In 2021, Bruce reunited with McNeil Lamswood and King to compete for the 2021-22 season. They beat Team Nathan Young to become the team to represent the Memorial University Seahawks at the 2022 Atlantic University Sport Curling Championships. They ended up placing runner-up to the Dalhousie Tigers team. In the 2022 Newfoundland and Labrador Tankard the team failed to qualify for the play-offs; finishing with a 3-5 record.
