Later that year Munce earned a gold medal with Team Canada in the 2003 U18 World Junior Championships where, in 6 appearances, Munce posted 2 shutouts, a 1.83 GAA and a .938 save percentage. Heading into the draft, Munce was ranked the 3rd best goaltending prospect in North America by NHL Central Scouting, one spot ahead of Jonathan Boutin. At the draft, Munce was selected in the 3rd round, 82nd overall. In 2003-2004, Munce returned to Sarnia and went 28-21-4 with 2 shutouts, a 2.94 GAA and a .914 save percentage and was named to Team OHL for the CHL's Canada/Russia Challenge. In the playoffs Munce went 0-0 with a 5.71 GAA and .600 save percentage in just one appearance. In 2004-2005 Munce went 12-28-10 with a 3.17 GAA and .909 save percentage in his final season as a junior. Sarnia did not qualify for the playoffs in 2004-2005.

Professional Career
The Los Angeles Kings signed Munce in the summer of 2005 and he made his professional debut with Bakersfield of the ECHL where he went 30-18-5 in his rookie season with a 2.78 GAA and .919 save percentage. In the playoffs for the Condors Munce was 5-5 with a 3.36 GAA and .889 save percentage.
