Öberg won 25 competitive caps for the Swedish national team, scoring a total of 6 goals, and represented his country at several major tournaments; the biggest achievement was winning the silver medal in the 1928 Winter Olympics.[8] Öberg is a recipient of the honorary award Stora Grabbars Märke and was inducted into the Swedish Hockey Hall of Fame in 2012; both awards are handed out by the Swedish Ice Hockey Association.[10]

He retired from ice hockey in 1939.[11]
