Pronounced "Cah-MEE-lee-oh." Camelio comes into his first head equipment manager position for an NHL team with 15 seasons and 1,700 professional games as an assistant trainer in Nashville. First trainer job with ECHL's South Carolina Stingrays at age 21, next stop Bridgeport of AHL. When expansion Nashville joined the NHL in 1998-99, Pete Rogers was named equipment manager and invited Camelio to the Predators' inaugural training camp as an assistant before starting his ECHL job, so it won't be the first time the Kraken trainer has been involved with the birth of an NHL team.
His parents would take him to watch Rochester of the American Hockey League, and he'd hang over the rail, asking the equipment guys for sticks and tape. He got to know the Americans' equipment manager and became a stick boy, then an assistant at age 14.
