In her youth, Berglund played in the minor ice hockey department of Modo HockeyinÖrnsköldsvik, which she has described as a "hockey-crazy" town.[1][2] She played for Modo's girls' team and the boys' team when the girls' lacked the requisite number of players.[1]
In the ninth grade, Berglund returned to girls' hockey, playing for Modo's junior team.[1] With Berglund, Modo won the gold medal in the girls' national tournament, Stålbucklan [sv], in 2013 and 2014.[3]
Berglund debuted with Modo's SDHL team in 2014, scoring three points in the 21 games she played that season.[4][3] In her second season with Modo, she did not score any points but did accrue 20 penalty minutes.[3] For the 2016–17 season, Berglund scored five goals and three assists in 30 games, and was charged with 34 penalty minutes.[3]
After three years with Modo, Berglund signed a one-year contract with Linköping HC, with the intention of subsequently playing college hockey in the United States.[1] The team won silver in the 2017 SDHL championship.[5]
After deciding to remain in the SDHL rather than pursue a career in the NCAA, Berglund began a three-year tour with Luleå HF/MSSK.[1] In 2018, Berglund reported that, over a number of years, she had experienced a dislocated jaw nearly 70 times.[6][7] During her seasons with Luleå, Berglund won the SDHL championship twice – the 2019–20 championship was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[8][9][10]
In 2021, Berglund joined HV71 on a 1+1 contract (one-season with a second season option).[11] With HV71, Berglund served as an alternate captain.[12] In April 2022, the club announced that Berglund would not be returning for a second season.[13]
In 2022, Berglund joined the Metropolitan Riveters of the Premier Hockey Federation (PHF) in the United States on a one-year contract.[14][12] Berglund openly discussed how the PHF drew Swedish players to North America by offering higher pay than the SDHL.[15] In her 20 games with the Riveters, she scored three points and was charged with 20 penalty minutes.[3] She was selected for the 2023 PHF All-Star Game.[16]
In February 2023, Berglund expressed a desire to continue playing with the Riveters,[17] but in April 2023, she agreed to a 1+1 contract with MoDo, returning to her youth club after seven seasons away.[18]
Berglund is part of the LGBTQ community.[22] She and Canadian ice hockey player Sarah Bujold – who was her teammate on HV71 and the Riveters – were in a relationship for several years during the early 2020s.[23][24]
In 2021, Berglund participated in a mentorship program to support girls in hockey.[25]
In addition to her career in ice hockey, she is an amateur sailor and has competed in a Swedish championship in sailing in the Albin Express class.[26]
