Van Guilder, 29, played his fourth season for the Milwaukee Admirals in 2012-13, ranking fifth on the team in goals (14) and tying for fifth in points (32).
The native of Roseville, Minn., was also named the Admirals’ recipient of the IOA/American Specialty Man of the Year award — becoming one of 30 finalists league-wide for the Yanick Dupre Memorial Award — for his outstanding contributions to the Milwaukee community for the third consecutive season in 2012-13.
In 241 career AHL contests with Milwaukee and Hamilton, Van Guilder has 84 points (36g, 48a).
