Brian O'Neill (born June 1, 1988) is an American professional ice hockey forward who is under contract with Jokerit of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL).
Playing career
Undrafted, O'Neill played collegiate hockey with Yale University of the ECAC before signing a one-year entry-level contract with the Los Angeles Kings at the conclusion of his senior year on March 15, 2012.[1]
In the 2014–15 season, his third full season within the Kings organization, O'Neill was assigned to continue to play with the Manchester Monarchs of the AHL. He enjoyed a break out year offensively with the Monarchs, leading not only the team but the league with 58 assists and 80 points in 71 games to be awarded the Les Cunningham Award as the AHL's most valuable player. In the post-season O'Neill's continued his offensive pace in recording 10 goals and 20 points to help the Monarch's dominate the league and capture the Calder Cup in their final season within the AHL.
Prior to the 2015–16 season, O'Neill attended the Kings training camp and participated in the pre-season. O'Neill was unable to earn a roster spot in Los Angeles and as a result on the eve of the season, on October 6, 2015, the Kings traded O'Neill to the New Jersey Devils in return for a conditional 7th round pick.[2] O'Neill made his NHL debut with the Devils on October 10, 2015 against the Washington Capitals. He played 22 games in the NHL for the Devils that season and also made 42 appearances for their AHL affiliate Albany Devils.[3]
On May 20, 2016, he signed a deal with Helsinki-based club Jokerit of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL).[4]
