Career

Bice had a fairly successful junior career. Bice is a two time provincial junior champion, winning in 2003 and 2005 and was a provincial schoolboy champion in 2002. In 2003, his rink of Mike Callan, Rob Pruliere and Jeff Wilson finished with a 7-5 record at the Canadian Junior Curling Championships- out of the playoffs.

In 2005, they went to the Canadian Juniors again, this time with Codey Maus replacing Callan. The team finished second after the round robin with a 9-3 record. After defeating Ian Fitzner-LeBlanc's Nova Scotia rink in the semi-final, Bice lost in the final match, against Saskatchewan's Kyle George.

After his 2005 Junior run, Bice was picked up to play third for Heath McCormick's rink. He would be demoted to lead the following season. In 2007, he switched to play third for Pat Ferris. In 2008, he formed his own team of John Grant, Steve Bice and Jeff Grant. Jeff Grant left the team in 2009, and was replaced by Codey Maus.

In 2009, Bice won the provincial Mixed title, qualifying his rink thant included Leslie Bishop, Codey Maus and Courtney Davies for the 2010 Canadian Mixed Curling Championship. At the 2010 Mixed, the team placed second after the round robin. They beat British Columbia's Jason Montgomery in the semi-final, but lost in the final to Nova Scotia's Mark Dacey rink.

Bice joined the Greg Balsdon rink in 2012. Bice skipped the rink through zone and regional play of the 2014 Travelers Tankard, while Balsdon recovered from a broken rib. Balson rejoined the team after they qualified for the Tankard, the provincial men's championship. While Balsdon skipped the team, the team would be named for Bice. The team won the event, and will represent Ontario at the 2014 Tim Hortons Brier.

Bice left the Balsdon rink in 2015. He will skip a team consisting of Aaron Squires, Tyler Morgan and brother Steve Bice.
