O'Neill is now reunited with her former Team Canada coach Troy Ryan who took over as coach and general manager with PWHL San Jose.
As a member of the Sirens, after being acquired in a trade from Montreal, O'Neill has been reliably one of the PWHL's top centres finishing fourth in the league last season in face-offs won.
Internationally, O'Neill has won Olympic silver, and also has three World Championship gold medals an two silver medals.
PWHL San Jose's roster now includes O'Neill, Anne Cherkowski, Rory Guilday, and Corinne Schroeder.
