Kristin O’Neill

Kristin is a perfect example of success at the NCAA and Canadian National level. Her own experiences as a gold medalist in the 2015 National Women’s Under-18 Championship and going on to play at the IIHF U18 Women’s World Championship make her a wonderful asset to our team.

Furthermore, she became the third Sophomore to be named Captain in the program’s history.

Simultaneously, O’Neill was a member of the Canadian Development Team, winning a Silver medal at the 2017 Nations Cup. In her Senior team debut at the Four Nations Cup, Kristen recorded two assists and contributed to the team’s Silver medal finish. O’Neill completed her collegiate career at Cornell with many accolades. She holds the most shorthanded goals (10), 10 th most overall points (145), and third-most shots (546). Kristin’s talent secured her a spot with Montreal’s Team Bauer in the PWHPA.
