Playing career
To date, Arsene's professional career has been almost solely in the American Hockey League, where he has played eight seasons. He spent six of those seasons (from 2003–04 to 2008–09) with the Hershey Bears, winning the league's championship Calder Cup twice in that tenure, and earning the fond nickname "Mayor of Chocolatetown."
Following his second Calder Cup, Arsene chose to sign the two-way contract with the Edmonton Oilers in the hope of earning some playing time in the NHL on July 16, 2009.[1] That hope was realized when he was called up for a two-game stint in late 2009.[2] He spent the majority of the 2009–10 season as the captain of the Springfield Falcons, however he was again later recalled on an emergency basis on March 22, 2010, finishing out the season with Edmonton.
On August 11, 2010, Arsene signed as a free agent to a one-year, two-way contract with the St. Louis Blues.[3]
Arsene signed a one-year contract with the Phoenix Coyotes on July 6, 2011.[4]
