Tim Bergland

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Timothy Daniel Bergland (born January 11, 1965 in Crookston, Minnesota) is a retired American ice hockey player.

Selected by the Washington Capitals in the 1983 NHL Entry Draft, he did not make it onto the Capitals' roster until the 1989-90 season when his defensive play helped guide the Capitals to their first-ever semifinals appearance.

Left exposed in the 1992 NHL Expansion Draft, Bergland was claimed by the Tampa Bay Lightning. He would have a second tour with the Capitals, albeit briefly, when he was claimed on waivers during the 1993-94 season.

Bergland retired from active play in 1999 after playing several seasons with the Chicago Wolves of the International Hockey League.
