Playing career

Tatíček was drafted ninth overall by the Florida Panthers in the 2002 NHL entry draft from the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) and played just three games for the Panthers during the 2005–06 NHL season, going pointless. On 9 March 2006, Tatíček was traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for Richard Jackman, but never played for them, spending the remainder of the season with their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins.

Tatíček then signed with the Washington Capitals as a free agent, but only played one game for their AHL affiliate, the Hershey Bears, before returning to the Czech Extraliga with HC Kladno. Later in the season, he moved to HC Davos of the Swiss Nationalliga A.

On 22 July 2014, Tatíček signed as a one-year contract as a free agent with Deutsche Eishockey Liga (DEL) club ERC Ingolstadt. On 23 November 2014, during the 2014–15 season, and having quickly adapted to the DEL and among the team's top scoring line, Tatíček was signed to a three-year contract extension to remain in Ingolstadt.^[1]
