If I'm gonna say I'm a Catholic, then I'm a Catholic all the time. It's on the ice and off the ice and it's something you have to live everyday. It's contagious. It rubs off on your teammates. I feel like if I'm going to say I’m one thing, I want my words and my actions to reflect that," Van Guilder said.
