What started off as promising for Arnason went south in a hurry once he left juniors to play pro. He struggled to break through
on the Canadiens, which lead to him being traded to the Atlanta Flames. He would become a regular there, but would move on
to the Penguins midseason and become a decent secondary scorer there.
It was pretty much the case wherever he went: solid secondary scorer that moved around a lot in his pro career.
So why did I say "things went south?" His last season with the Flin Flon Bombers yielded 163 points. His defensive game as a
pro came under criticism, as well.
He last played in North America in 1980. He looked to give Germany a go, and DID get to play a few games over there with
Cologne, but a knee injury while there ended his career.
He was an avid golfer, so it came as no surprise that he ran a golf course outside of Winnipeg post-retirement.
He was also inducted into the Manitoba Hockey Hall of Fame.
He is the father of former Av and Blackhawk Tyler Arnason, who is currently playing for Dinamo Riga in the KHL.
