Muse played high school hockey at Noble and Greenough School under the coaching of Brian Day. He went on to play in college for the Boston College Eagles in the National Collegiate Athletic Association"s Division I Hockey East conference.

Muse also backstopped for British Columbia"s Hockey East regular-season championship in 2010, as well as Beanpot Tournament and Hockey East tournament championships in 2008, 2010, and 2011.

Professional

Following his college career, Muse was signed to an amateur tryout contract by the AHL"s Portland Pirates, winning his only start for them. On July 18, 2011, Muse signed a two-way AHL deal with the Charlotte Checkers.

He attended 2011 training camp with the National Hockey League"s Carolina Hurricanes, but was sent to Charlotte, then to Florida, for training camps. Muse"s first full professional season saw him spending time in both the ECHL and AHL, recording 15 games in Charlotte and 25 in Florida, where he shared netminding duties with Pat Nagle.

He was awarded the Kelly Cup Most Valuable Player trophy following the Everblades victory in Game 5.

On June 7, 2012, Muse was signed to his first National Hockey League contract with the Everblades parent affiliate, the Carolina Hurricanes, on a one-year contract. Due to the National Hockey League lockout, Muse was directly returned initially to the Checkers, before splitting the year for a second consecutive season with the Everblades. On August 6, 2013, with limited National Hockey League interest, Muse signed as a free agent to remain in the ECHL with the Fort Wayne Komets.

After starting the season on the Komet"s roster, Muse was signed to a Pacific Theater of Operations by the Checkers due to injuries to Cam Ward and Anton Khudobin.

In his first two starts for the Checkers, Muse recorded back to back 5-0 shutouts. By December, he had collected a record of 9-6-0 with a 2.29 Gaelic Athletic Association and.922 save percentage.

As his Pacific Theater of Operations contract was nearing its end, the Checkers decided to extend an AHL deal to keep Muse in the organization through the end of the 2013-2014 season. On August 4, 2015, Muse left the Checkers as a free agent to sign a one-year AHL contract with the Texas Stars.

In the 2015-2016 season, Muse assumed the backup role with the Stars, appearing in 19 games.

Unable to replicate his form from previous years, Muse was traded by the Stars back to the Checkers for future considerations on January 29, 2016.
