Personal Life
Tambellini was born in Calgary, Alberta. His father Steve Tambellini, a retired ice hockey player and current general manager of the Edmonton Oilers, was playing for the Calgary Flames at the time. Steve also played in the NHL with the New York Islanders, Colorado Rockies, New Jersey Devils and Vancouver Canucks. Tambellini's grandfather, Addie Tambellini, was a member of the Trail Smoke Eaters who were the last Canadian amateur team to win the World Championships in 1961. As Steve became involved with the Canucks first as a player, then as an executive later in his career, Tambellini grew up in Vancouver, British Columbia, while gaining exposure to the NHL environment. After leaving home to begin his own hockey career, Tambellini returned to Vancouver in the off-seasons, residing in the Coal Harbour neighbourhood.
