Early career

After a standout career at Greenway High School, in which he was awarded the 2002 Minnesota Mr. Hockey award as the state's most outstanding high school player, Guyer was recruited by the University of Minnesota. He supplemented his development by playing a total of 20 games with the Lincoln Stars of the USHL, tallying a total of 9 goals and 12 assists in two seasons of play.

In 2003, as a freshman with the Gophers, Guyer scored 29 points; the most notable of which forced overtime in the NCAA National Semifinal against the University of Michigan. Ultimately, the Gophers would advance to the Division I National Championship, defeating the University of New Hampshire 5-1 in regulation, earning the program's 5th NCAA title.

Guyer would go on to captain the Golden Gophers in his senior year (2006). Though Guyer would tally only 14 points through 41 games, Minnesota went on to win the MacNaughton Cup, for their first outright WCHA title since 1992.

In 2006, he had a brief spell in the AHL team Philadelphia Phantoms, as well as in the ECHL teams Texas Wildcatters and Alaska Aces.

He then played two seasons for the Phoenix RoadRunners, and a single season for Bakersfield Condors.
