Berglund graduated from
Colorado College in 1963, where he was the leading scorer. He then had a brief playing career in
Austria and
Switzerland, after which he permanently moved to the United States. On the advice of
William Thayer Tutt, Berglund decided to become a hockey executive, rather than player. He became the manager of the
United States National Team from 1973 to 1975. In 1976, he was the general manager of the U.S. Olympic ice hockey team. He became general manager of the team again in 1988. He was the general manager of the U.S. Men's National Team from 1985 to 1991. In 1992, Berglund won the
Lester Patrick Trophy for outstanding contributions to ice hockey in the United States. He was named senior director of international administration for
USA Hockey in 1996. Berglund was mostly retired from the hockey scene by 2005, but he still served as a consultant for USA Hockey. ==Personal life==
