Career
Sean Bergenheim began his career as a hockey player in his Finnish homeland at Jokerit Helsinki , for which he was active in the SM-liiga for a total of three years from 2001 to 2004 . The greatest successes he could celebrate with the team were the Finnish championship title in 2002 and winning the IIHF Continental Cup in the 2002/03 season . During this time he was selected in the first round of the 2002 NHL Entry Draft as a total of 22nd player by the New York Islanders , for which he made his debut in the National Hockey League at the beginning of the 2003/04 season before joining the season his ex-club Jokerit Helsinki in Finland.
During the lockout in the 2004/05 NHL season , Bergenheim played exclusively for New York's farm team from the American Hockey League , the Bridgeport Sound Tigers , before scoring nine points in 28 games for New York in the NHL in the 2005/06 season , including four goals, scored.
On August 5, 2006, Bergenheim signed a contract as a free agent with Lokomotiv Yaroslavl from the Russian Super League . Only three months later, the attacker switched to the Swedish Elitserien , where he ended the season at Frölunda HC . In the summer of 2007, Bergenheim returned to his ex-club New York Islanders, for which he played until 2010 and completed another 200 NHL games.
In August 2010, Bergenheim was signed by the Tampa Bay Lightning . On July 1, 2011, he signed a four-year contract with the Florida Panthers .
In February 2015, the Panthers gave him, including a seven-round vote for the 2016 NHL Entry Draft, to the Minnesota Wild , who in turn transferred a third-round vote for the same draft to Florida. Bergenheim ended the season in Minnesota, but without subsequently receiving a new contract. As a result, the Finn returned to Europe once more and joined SC Bern from the National League A ; he signed a contract there until the end of the season with an option for two more years. Bergenheim dropped out in the spring of 2016 due to a concussion and therefore missed the playoffs in which his team won the championship.
On November 4, 2016, he returned to the top Swedish team Frölunda HC . In 2017 he won the Champions Hockey League with the Indians . After two years at Frölunda, he had to end his career in February 2018 due to the aftereffects of several concussions .
