Playing career

Bernhardt made his Swedish Hockey League debut playing with Djurgårdens IF during the 2016–17 SHL season. On November 26, 2016, he agreed to an additional one-year contract extension until 2018 with Djurgården.[3]

During the 2018–19 season, having tallied just 1 assist in 16 games in the final year of his contract with Djurgårdens IF, Bernhardt was released and signed by rival club, Växjö Lakers, to a new three-year contract on January 4, 2019.[4]

David's older brother Daniel was also formerly a prospect with the Djurgårdens IF organization, and was drafted by the New York Rangers in 2015.[5]
