Playing career

Guimond played major junior hockey in both the Ontario Hockey League and the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.

His professional career started in 2012 when he first suited up with the San Francisco Bulls[2] and then with the Gwinnett Gladiators, both of the ECHL. He also played six games in the American Hockey League during his first season. Guimond was rewarded for his outstanding play when the ECHL named him the 2012–13 defenceman of the year[3] and selected him to both the All-Rookie[4] and All-ECHL teams[5]

On July 12, 2013, Guimond was signed to a one-year contract with the Utica Comets of the American Hockey League, an affiliate of the Vancouver Canucks.[6]

After a second stint with the Kalamazoo Wings, Guimond left to resume his European career, agreeing to a one-year deal with Slovenian club, HDD Olimpija Ljubljana, competing in the Austrian EBEL, on July 6, 2016.[7]
