He was a member of the 2005-06 All-WCHA All Academic Team and the recipient of the Elwin "Doc" Romnes Leadership and Sportsmanship Award and the Donald M. Clark Community Service Award. Guyer tallied 50 goals, 67 assists, and 107 points in 169 career collegiate games and was a member of the 2002-03 Minnesota squad that captured the NCAA Division I National Championship.
Guyer also logged four games with the Philadelphia Phantoms of the American Hockey League at the conclusion of the 2005-06 season.
