“Kristin is a player who can play in many different situations. She is hard to play against defensively and she can chip in with offence. She is someone you want on your team instead of having to play against her.” – Kori Cheverie, Head Coach

“I’m so thrilled to have signed to play with Montreal this season. The energy, the fans, and the hockey culture in Montreal is parallel to none and I’m excited to be immersed in that. I can’t wait to get started!” – Kristin O’Neill
