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 1998β99 season. Delmore was the first rookie defenceman to record a hat trick in the playoffs.[1] He also scored the overtime winner in Game 3 of the 2000 Eastern Conference Semifinals as Philadelphia edged Pittsburgh 4-3. During the 2002-03 NHL Season, he tied Sergei Gonchar and Nicklas Lidstrom for most goals (18) by a defenseman.
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.

Delmore went back to Germany when he signed a two-year contract with the Hamburg Freezers, of the DEL on July 17, 2007.
After a two-year absence, Delmore returned to North America for the 2009β10 season when the Detroit Red Wings again signed Delmore to a one-year contract on July 28, 2009.[5] Delmore was then assigned to AHL affiliate, the Grand Rapids Griffins.
