He would move to Frisco, Texas in high school, and attended college at the University of Maine. He played for the Texas Tornado of the NAHL in 2004-05. He appeared in 45 games that season and posted a league-best record of 35 wins (including 5 shutouts). That season he would lead the Tornados to their second consecutive National Championship.

A the University of Maine, Bishop finished his freshman season with a 21-8-2 record and a 2.28 GAA. In 2006, he led the Black Bears to the 2006 Frozen Four where they would lose to UW-Madison in the semi finals. The next season, Bishop again helped the Black Bears reach the Frozen Four where they lost to Michigan State in the semi-finals.

Bishop was drafted by the St. Louis Blues in the third round, 85th overall, of the 2005 NHL Entry Draft. He made his NHL debut on October 24th, 2008 off the bench in relief of the injured Manny Legace.
