The Philadelphia Flyers announced today that they have signed center Jack Berglund to a three-year entry-level contract set to begin in 2026-27, according to General Manager Daniel Briere. He will report to the Lehigh Valley Phantoms of the American Hockey League for the remainder of the 2025-26 season.
Berglund, 19 (4/10/2006), was selected by the Flyers in the second round (51st overall) of the 2024 NHL Draft and has participated in Flyers Development Camp in each of the past two years (2024-25).
Internationally, Berglund has represented Sweden at both the 2026 IIHF World Junior Championship and the 2024 IIHF U18 World Championship. At the 2026 World Junior Championship, he captained Sweden to its first gold medal since 2012, finishing tied for the team lead in scoring with 10 points (3g-7a) in seven games while also leading the tournament with a +9 rating.
He becomes the fourth player from Philadelphia’s 2024 draft class to ink an entry-level deal and is the sixth prospect to sign with the Flyers in the last month, joining Porter Martone, Noah Powell, Cole Knuble, Alex Ciernik, and Riley Thompson.
