Having been selected by the Boston Bruins in the 1986 NHL Entry Draft, Beraldo was assigned to play for their farm team, the Maine Mariners, in the American Hockey League (AHL) during the 1987–88 season.

After one game with Milano Saima at the start of the 1994–95 season, he returned to Germany to play for TuS Geretsried in the German second division.
