Jeff Tambellini (born April 13, 1984, in Port Moody, British Columbia) is a professional hockey player.
His father, Steve Tambellini, played in the NHL as a member of the New York Islanders. He played college hockey for the University of Michigan and was named Alternate Captain of the team before being drafted in the first-round (27th overall) in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft by the Los Angeles Kings.
On March 8, 2006, Jeff was traded, along with Denis Grebeshkov, to his father's former team, the New York Islanders, in exchange for Mark Parrish and Brent Sopel. Because of their desire to add youth to their lineup, the Islanders inserted Jeff into the lineup. His quick hands and excellent ice vision allowed him to score his first goal on March 14, 2006 against New Jersey Devils goalie Martin Brodeur.
