Playing career[]

Rämö was drafted by Tampa Bay as their sixth-round pick, #191 overall, in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft. A product of HeKi of Heinola, Finland, Rämö made his SM-liiga debut in the 2003-04 season with Pelicans after the team had lost their chance at the playoffs. In the next season he played 26 games with Pelicans, earning a contract with HPK for 2005-06. Rämö shared goaltending duties with Miika Wiikman, putting up excellent stats and winning the SM-liiga championship. Rämö also represented Team Finland at the 2006 Under-20's World Championships as Tuukka Rask's backup.

After HPK's championship win, the Lightning signed Rämö to a two-way contract. Playing with the Norfolk Admirals, he soon made his NHL debut on December 2 against the Ottawa Senators, replacing Johan Holmqvist. On December 19, Rämö was once again called up by the Lightning. On December 20, Rämö won his first NHL start versus the Toronto Maple Leafs, 2–1. He went on to record 7 wins with 11 losses in the 2007-08 season.

With the Lightning signing veteran Olaf Kolzig to be back-up to Mike Smith, Rämö started the 2008-09 season for Norfolk. Karri was recalled multiple times by the Lightning and finished the season playing in 24 contests with only 4 wins.

On June 23, 2009, Ramo left the NHL, signing a two-year contract with Avangard Omsk of the KHL.
