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]
