Playing career

On March 16, 2012, Melchiori, a Thrashers draft pick, signed a three-year entry-level contract with the relocated Winnipeg Jets. [1] Melchiori made his NHL debut on December 27, 2013, playing 8:41 of ice time with the Winnipeg Jets in a 6–4 home game win over the Minnesota Wild. [2] On July 2, 2016, he re-signed with the Jets on a two-year, two-way contract. [3]

Having played the first 6 years of his professional career within the Jets organization, Melchiori left as a free agent following the 2017–18 campaign, in which he spent exclusively with an affiliate, the Manitoba Moose of the AHL. On July 13, 2018, Melchiori agreed to a one-year, two-way contract with the Florida Panthers. [4]

As a free agent, Melchiori left the Panthers after one season and signed a one-year contract to continue his career in the AHL with the Binghamton Devils, affiliate to the New Jersey Devils on July 23, 2019. [5] In the 2019–20 season, Melchiori collected 13 points through 54 games on the blueline for Binghamton before he was signed to a one-year, two-way contract with the New Jersey Devils for the remainder of the season on February 23, 2020. [6]

With the season ending prematurely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Melchiori left the Devils as a free agent, embarking on a career abroad by agreeing to a one-year contract with Russian club HC Neftekhimik Nizhnekamsk of the Kontinental Hockey League on July 18, 2020. [7] Melchiori was later released from his contract with Neftekhimik without appearing for the club, opting to move to Germany, signing a one-year contract with Grizzlys Wolfsburg of the DEL on November 10, 2020. [8]

After two seasons in Wolfsburg, Melchiori left the club and continued his career in Germany, signing a two-year contract with Eisbären Berlin on May 19, 2022. [9]

Personal life

He is the nephew of NHL hockey player, Mike Murphy.
