Played NCAA Division I ice hockey at the University of Notre Dame, appearing in 163 consecutive games during his four-year college career from 2004–2008. Having never missed a game, Van Guilder is considered the school's all time "Iron-Man."[2] Served as team captain during the 2007–2008 season, during which the Fighting Irish advanced to the Frozen Four and appeared in the 2008 NCAA Division I Men's Ice Hockey Championship game against Boston College. Van Guilder was one of 10 finalists for the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award in 2008.[2]

Played parts of two seasons for the Cincinnati Cyclones in the East Coast Hockey League (ECHL) from 2008–10 before moving up to their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Milwaukee Admirals, during the 2009–10 season.[2] Appeared in 383 regular season games for the Milwaukee Admirals between 2008–2015,[3] becoming the most tenured player in the AHL era of the Milwaukee Admirals after appearing in his 367th game on March 11, 2015.[4] Served as assistant captain during the 2012–13, 2013–14, and 2014–15 seasons.[3]

After five seasons within the affiliates of the Nashville Predators of the National Hockey League (NHL), Van Guilder signed his first NHL contract as an Undrafted Free Agent to a two-year, two-way contract with Nashville on May 20, 2013.[5] During the 2013–14 season, Van Guilder was rewarded with his long-awaited NHL debut with the Predators, playing in a solitary game in a 4–3 shootout victory against the Washington Capitals on March 30, 2014.[6]

After finishing the 2014–15 season with the Milwaukee Admirals, Van Guilder finally left the Predators organization as a free agent and signed a one-year deal with Italian club, Ritten/Renon of the Serie A league on July 30, 2015.[7] Van Guilder was named assistant captain of Ritten Sport and lead the team to both regular season and postseason championships during the 2015–16 season.[3]

Signed a one-year deal with the Stavanger Oilers in Norway's top-tier GET-ligaen on June 13, 2016.[3] The Stavanger Oilers won both the regular and postseason GET-ligaen championships during 2016–17 season. Van Guilder lead the GET-ligaen in points and was named to the league's All-Star Team.[3]
