Arnason is the son of former NHL winger Chuck Arnason. He was born in Oklahoma City but was raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba. As a member of the Minnesota North Stars, his father Chuck was playing for their Oklahoma City affiliate at the time of Tyler's birth. Tyler was drafted by the Chicago Blackhawks in the 1998 NHL Entry Draft and has played three seasons for the Blackhawks. His best season was in 2003-04 when he amassed 55 points.
On March 9, 2006, he was traded to the Ottawa Senators in exchange for Brandon Bochenski and a second-round pick. In the nineteen games he played for Ottawa in the regular season, he registered four assists and failed to score a goal. He was a healthy scratch in the play-offs. The Senators chose not to give him a qualifying offer, so he became an unrestricted free agent.
Tyler has recently signed a one-year deal with the Colorado Avalanche. His dad also played in Colorado as a member of the Colorado Rockies hockey team.
