He previously played in the National Hockey League (NHL) for the Carolina Hurricanes. Bellemore was selected in the 6th round, 162nd overall, by the Hurricanes in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft.

Playing career

Bellemore played major junior with the Plymouth Whalers in the Ontario Hockey League before he was signed to a three-year entry-level contract with the Hurricanes on May 15, 2008.[1]

On July 8, 2011, Bellemore signed a two-year, two-way contract with the Carolina Hurricanes. The contract was worth $525,000 per year at the NHL level and $70,000 per year at the AHL level.[2]

On June 28, 2013, Bellemore signed a one-year, two-way contract to remain with the Hurricanes.[3]

After 6 seasons within the Hurricanes organization, Bellemore became a free agent. Unable to secure a contract, Bellemore began training with the New York Rangers after receiving a try-out to training camp on September 9, 2015.[4] After his release from the Rangers pre-season roster, Bellemore agreed to a one-year AHL contract with the Providence Bruins, affiliate to the Boston Bruins on October 9, 2015.[5]

For a second consecutive season, Bellemore faced free agency in the off-season. On July 24, 2016, Bellemore opted to continue his career in the Kontinental Hockey League, signing a one-year deal with Chinese entrant, HC Kunlun Red Star.[6]
