Playing career
Broberg originally played as a youth within the Örebro HK organization before moving to continue in the J20 SuperElit with AIK during the 2017–18 season. As a 17-year-old, he made his professional debut in the HockeyAllsvenskan with AIK in the 2018–19 season. Showing both defensive and offensive instincts, Broberg appeared in 41 games in the regular season posting 2 goals and 9 points.
With AIK remaining in the Allsvenskan after qualification, Broberg secured a move to the top flight Swedish Hockey League, agreeing to a one-year contract with Skellefteå AIK on 17 May 2019.[3]
On 21 June 2019, Broberg was drafted 8th overall by the Edmonton Oilers in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. He was signed to a three-year, entry-level contract with the Oilers on 4 July 2019.[4] Approaching the 2019–20 season, Broberg announced he would remain in Sweden to play in the SHL with Skellefteå AIK to continue his development.[5]
Broberg was included on the Oilers roster for Phase 4 of the NHL's return to play after Mike Green opted out, joining the team for the Stanley Cup qualifiers.[6] Following Edmonton's elimination, Broberg was returned to Skellefteå on loan until the start of the 2020–21 NHL season.[7]
With the NHL season delayed due to the ongoing pandemic, Broberg remained with Skellefteå for the duration of the 2020–21 season, he recorded 3 goals and 13 points in 44 regular season games before making his post-season debut with Skellefteå going scoreless in 12 games. On 3 May 2021, he was returned to the Oilers, assigned to the club's taxi squad nearing the completion of the regular season.[8]
Broberg started the 2021-22 season with the Bakersfield Condors, the Oilers' AHL affiliate. He played his first NHL game on 20 November 2021 against the Chicago Blackhawks, scoring an assist in the Oilers' 5-2 home victory.[9]
