Playing career
Angle played as a youth with St. Catharines Falcons in the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League (GOJHL) before he was selected in the 2016 OHL Priority Draft, 114th overall by the Windsor Spitfires.
An undersized forward, following his third season of development with the Spitfires, Angle was drafted by the Columbus Blue Jackets in the seventh round, 212th overall, of the 2019 NHL Entry Draft.{{Cite web |date=June 22, 2019 |title=2019 Entry Draft: Columbus Blue Jackets select Tyler Angle with the 212th pick |url=https://www.jacketscannon.com/2019-entry-draft-columbus-blue-jackets-select-tyler-angle-with-the-212th-pick/ |access-date=June 22, 2019 |website=jacketscannon.com |archive-date=August 24, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240824043634/https://www.jacketscannon.com/2019-entry-draft-columbus-blue-jackets-select-tyler-angle-with-the-212th-pick/ |url-status=live }} In his fourth season of major junior hockey in the OHL in 2019–20, Angle improved his offensive output to over a point-per-game, co-leading the team in registering 67 points through 62 regular season games before the remainder of the season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
With the 2020–21 season delayed due to the ongoing pandemic, and with junior hockey on hiatus for the season, Angle began his professional career by signing an amateur tryout contract with the Blue Jackets' AHL affiliate, the Cleveland Monsters, on January 21, 2021.{{Cite web |date=January 21, 2021 |title=Monsters announce five roster additions |url=https://www.clevelandmonsters.com/news/detail/monsters-announce-five-roster-additions |access-date=January 21, 2021 |website=Cleveland Monsters |archive-date=January 21, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210121210108/https://www.clevelandmonsters.com/news/detail/monsters-announce-five-roster-additions |url-status=live }} Angle immediately produced offensively and showed versatility in the professional ranks, and after 6 games was signed to a three-year, entry-level contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets on March 30, 2021.{{Cite web |date=March 30, 2021 |title=CBJ sign Tyler Angle to three-year, entry-level contract |url=https://www.nhl.com/bluejackets/news/cbj-sign-tyler-angle-to-three-year-entry-level-contract-323035488 |access-date=March 30, 2021 |publisher=Columbus Blue Jackets |archive-date=August 24, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240824043637/https://www.nhl.com/bluejackets/news/cbj-sign-tyler-angle-to-three-year-entry-level-contract-323035488 |url-status=live }}{{Cite news |date=September 20, 2021 |title=Blue Jackets' Tyler Angle determined to show he's no fluke |url=https://www.dispatch.com/story/sports/nhl/columbus-blue-jackets/2021/09/18/blue-jackets-tyler-angle-determined-show-hes-no-fluke/8363445002/ |access-date=September 20, 2021 |work=The Columbus Dispatch |archive-date=October 25, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211025182621/https://www.dispatch.com/story/sports/nhl/columbus-blue-jackets/2021/09/18/blue-jackets-tyler-angle-determined-show-hes-no-fluke/8363445002/ |url-status=live }}
