Andy Delmore (born December 26, 1976 in LaSalle, Ontario) is a Canadian professional ice hockey player for the Hamburg Freezers of the DEL.

Playing career

A 6'0" defenceman, Delmore played junior hockey for the North Bay Centennials and later for the Sarnia Sting. He went undrafted in 1997 and signed as a free agent with the Philadelphia Flyers, making his NHL debut during the 1998–99 season. Delmore has also played for the Nashville Predators, Buffalo Sabres, and Columbus Blue Jackets during his NHL career.

Delmore was traded twice on March 9, 2004; the Sabres first traded him to the Boston Bruins for future considerations and he was then traded to the San Jose Sharks (along with Curtis Brown) for Jeff Jillson and a ninth-round draft pick. He did not play for either team. During the 2004–05 NHL lockout, Delmore played in Germany with the Mannheim Eagles of the DEL.

Delmore signed with the Detroit Red Wings prior to the commencement of the 2005–06 NHL season; however, he did not play a game for the club and was claimed by the Blue Jackets from waivers on October 4, 2005. Delmore played the majority of the 2005–06 season for the Syracuse Crunch of the AHL, playing only 7 games in the NHL. Delmore won the Eddie Shore Award as the top defenceman in the AHL.

In his 283 NHL games, Delmore has recorded 43 goals and 58 assists, totalling 101 points. He is considered an offensive defenceman, valued for his proficiency on the power play.
