Melicherík began his career in 1993 with HC Dukla Trenčín of the Slovak Extraliga where he played until 2000 when he moved to Czech Extraliga to play for HC Havířov Panthers, during that season he also appeared in games for Czech 1.liga sides HC HC Prostějov and Šumperk.
He then played one year for EHC Wolfsburg in the German 2nd Bundesliga. Melicherík returned to Slovakia for one more season which he split between Dukla Trenčín and Martimex ZTS Martin.
In 340 games in the Slovak Extraliga Melicherík scored 77 goals and added 110 assists for 187 points.
Melicherík was then lured to play in Britain for Guildford Flames in the BNL. He helped the team to a play-off championship in his first year in 2003/2004, scoring 22 points in 14 play-off games. He remained with the Flames for the next 3 years playing again in the BNL and most recently 2 seasons with them in the EPIHL scoring 98 and 93 points in 05/06 and 06/07 respectively.
During the 2007/08 season he took extra responsibility as Player/Assistant Coach. He Currently sits 2nd in All-time Flames scoring, leading (or joint leading) the team in scoring 6 seasons in a row from 2003-09. On the 14th of February Melicherík became the 3rd Flames player to score 500 points with an assist against the Peterborough Phantoms.
At the start of the 2009/10 season it was announced that Melicherik would become the club's Under 18's coach as well as being the assistant and bench coach. This meant he would be carried on the team’s roster as a spare import and only play when others were unavailable under the import restrictions. A spree of injuries that prompted Head Coach Paul Dixon to say "We have half a dozen players out. I've not known a situation quite like this.",[1] meant that Melicherik still played in over half of the team’s games that year.
