Playing career
[edit]Originally developing with SC Bern in Switzerland, Berger played two seasons of major junior hockey in the Ontario Hockey League with the Oshawa Generals, but was not drafted by a National Hockey League club. On April 8, 2011, the Montreal Canadiens signed Berger as a free agent to three-year entry-level contract.[1]
Berger returned to play for SC Bern on December 11, 2012, after he was granted a release in the midst of his contract with the Canadiens.[2]
On January 20, 2017, Berger was suspended for two games and fined CHF 2,420 for a hit to the head of EHC Kloten's Lukas Stoop.
On December 18, 2019, Berger agreed to an early two-year contract extension with SC Bern through the 2021–22 season.
