Wasn't that the same with Brett Hull?

It's not uncommon and it's becoming more so. It's actually the source of a lot of drama on threads about the U18s with Canadians and Americans fighting over which team the kid is going to play for.

Pierre Turgeon's son is also playing on the USA U18 team, and there's another current example there, although I can't remember who. Also Paul Stastny.

Ok, now I need an mpreg where at least one parent is Canadian and desperately wants the baby born in Canada.

This probably isn't what you meant, but I immediately pictured a scenario in which the pregnant Canadian parent goes into labor in the US, panics, and books a flight to Canada, leading him to pretend not to be in labor during security, boarding, and the entire flight, until they finally land on Canadian soil.

They don't let you fly when you're that pregnant; but I'm imagining this happening to one of the Sabres or something. They make a desperate dash for the border haha

Hah, yes, an extremely pregnant Sabre or Red Wing, in labor and screaming at the lines at the border crossing because they need to get to a hospital on the other side, god dammit!

Hey, it's only a three and a half hour drive to Buffalo from Pittsburgh. Sid co-opting a scared rookie and forcing him to drive him to the border, totally plausible.

Even better -- it's the world's most terrifying road trip for some poor rookie who got shanghaied into it! (And then the thrilling conclusion to the world's most terrifying road trip, where the pregnant guy immediately rolls out of the car once they hit Canadian soil and the rookie has to deliver the baby.)

All those fics where Crosby wants to have his mpreg baby at Consol are now forever ruined. I refuse to believe that he would betray the Red and White and Maple Leaf like that.

How could you Sid! I was rooting for you! We were all rooting for you!!!

DA As long as one of the parents is Canadian you just apply for citizenship. But, they can be American citizens too.

If a player has dual citizenship how do they eventually decide which national team the player should represent? Are they just allowed to choose if both teams are asking for them?

Re: Player Lives and Random Gossip

Date: 2015-09-01 05:25 am (UTC)
AFAIK the player gets to choose, but IIHF rules state that once you play for a country that's it, that's the NT you always play for. I know this because of Brandon Sutter, weirdly enough.

There is a small set of circumstances that allows you to switch but you can only switch once.

Change of national eligibility (The ‘four-year’ case)
A player, who has previously participated in IIHF competition, can switch national eligibility (but only once in a player's life) if:

• He is a citizen of the new country of his choice
• He has participated for at least four consecutive years (1460 days) in the national competitions of his new country, during which period he has neither transferred to another country nor played ice hockey within any other country and has not played for his previous country in an IIHF competition during this four year period.
• He has an international transfer card (ITC) that shows the transfer to the national association of his new country and which was approved and dated at least four years before the start of the IIHF competition in which he wishes to participate.

Evgeni Nabokov played for Kazakhstan first and then was able to play for Russia. There were other circumstances involved though.

Marcus Foligno was once asked why he played for Canada and not for the USA like his brother, and he said he played for Canada because Canada invited him to camp and the USA didn't. Brett Hull has basically the same story, just with the nations switched IIRC. So sometimes that informs their decision, but if like McDavid was a duel citizen and obviously invited to both camps he would be able to play for which ever country.

Na Yeah, and I guess a lot of Canadians hold that against him in particular.

There are actually a lot of examples of this: Mike Foligno was Canadian, his older son played for the USA, then his younger son went back to Canada. Ulf Samuelsson has two kids, both of whom play for the USA and if I'm reading Wikipedia right only one of them is a duel citizen for Sweden and the U.S.
