John Roger Muse (born August 1, 1988) is an American ice hockey goaltender. He currently plays with the Rochester Americans of the American Hockey League (AHL).
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 NCAA's Division I Hockey East conference.
Muse was a four-year player for Boston College, helping the Eagles to win the NCAA Division I National Championships in the 2007-2008 and 2009-2010 seasons, recording a 5-0 shutout against the Wisconsin Badgers in the 2010 National Championship game, becoming only the fourth goalie to do so in NCAA history.
Muse also backstopped for BC's Hockey East regular-season championship in 2010, as well as Beanpot Tournament and Hockey East tournament championships in 2008, 2010, and 2011. He finished his collegiate career with a record of 89-39-16, including 12 shutouts.
Following his college career, Muse was signed to an amateur tryout contract by the AHL's Portland Pirates, winning his only start for them.

He attended 2011 training camp with the NHL's Carolina Hurricanes, but was sent to Charlotte, then to Florida, for training camps.
