He served as team captain in 2014–15 and 2015–16.[2]

He was directly assigned to join AHL affiliate, the Belleville Senators.[11] Bishop was recalled to Ottawa on March 1.[13] He made his debut for the Senators on March 12, 2021, against the Edmonton Oilers.[14] On April 9, 2021, Bishop was again placed on waivers.[15] He finished the season playing in thirteen games with Ottawa, registering three points.[16]
On May 21, 2021, Bishop was re-signed by the Senators to a one-year, two-way contract extension.[17] During the Senators training camp, Bishop suffered an injury that kept him out of the lineup until November.[18] He split the season between Ottawa and Belleville, playing in nine games with Ottawa, registering one point.[19]
As a free agent from the Senators, Bishop was signed to a one-year, two-way contract with the Calgary Flames on July 13, 2022.[20] He spent the entirety of the season with Calgary's AHL affiliate, the Calgary Wranglers, scoring 11 goals and 23 points in 64 games.[21] On October 24, 2022, Bishop was suspended for four games for an illegal cross-check in a game against the Colorado Eagles.[22] On June 14, 2023 he signed a two-year two-way contract with the Flames.[21] Bishop attended the Flames' 2023 training camp, but failed to make the roster.
