Blisse Joyce (born March 6, 1983 in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia as Blisse Comstock) is a Canadian curler from Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. She is a former Canadian Junior curling champion. She currently plays second for Jill Brothers.
In 2003, Joyce played second for Robyn Mattie's Boylston, Nova Scotia junior rink. They won their provincial junior championship, giving them the right to represent Nova Scotia at the 2003 Canadian Junior Curling Championships in Ottawa (where Mattie now lives). The team finished in first place (10-2) after the round robin, but lost to Saskatchewan's Stefanie Miller in the final.
In 2004, Joyce joined the Jill Mouzar (now Brothers) team. They once again won the Nova Scotia junior title, and finished first place (9-3) at the 2004 Canadian Juniors in Victoria, British Columbia. This time they won in the final, defeating Quebec's Marie Cantin. They would go on to represent Canada at the 2004 World Junior Curling Championships in Trois-Rivières, Quebec. They went through the round robin undefeated, only to lose to Norway's Linn Githmark in the final.
Joyce played with Mouzar occasionally after juniors until Mouzar moved to Ontario. In 2010, Colleen Jones took over as skip of the team before succumbing to meningitis. Third Heather Smith became skip, and led third Danielle Parsons, third Joyce and lead Teri Lake to Joyce's first provincial women's title. They would represent Nova Scotia at the 2011 Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, with a 7-4 record, going on to win the Bronze Medal Game against Ontario's Rachel Homan
For the 2011-2012 season the team will continue without Colleen Jones, who has recruited a new team.
