USA Hockey announced its roster late Thursday afternoon and O’Neill was the only returning player from 2018 on it.
O’Neill, 33, is playing in his sixth season for Finland’s Jokerit professional team in Russia’s Kontinental Hockey League.
He had a brief, 22-game tryout with the NHL’s New Jersey Devils back in the 2015-16 season but when the year was over, he opted to play in Europe and has stayed there since.
Goals were scored against a very good top (28-1-3) Tier III Junior Team. The games were played at Lake Placid's 1980 rink. Brian led the 18U team to a 5-3 Jr Flyers win.
