Roger Clemente Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Dany Heatley was actually born in Germany, but is a Canadian citizen. It is possible for someone to have citizenship in more than one country.--Roger "Time?" Clemente. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 Isn't this the same situation that happened with Brett Hull? He was born in Ontario, but grew up in the US (I think) and played for the US Olympic team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 If you are an American citizen, yes. You can, for intance, be born in Austrailia to two american parents and still be an American citizen and a natural born Austrailian citizen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andruw is playing for the Netherlands in the WBC....Mostly b/c Curacao is part of the Netherlands Antillies, which is a part of the Netherlands..so technially, Andruw Jones is a Dutch citizen.

He was born in Ontario, but grew up in the US (I think) and played for the US Olympic team. Correct...cept Brett IIRC was born in Vancouver. He did try out for Team Canada one time, didn't make it, then went and made the US team.Same thing applied to Adam Deadmarsh as well...born in Canada, played for the US.

spyboy1 Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 There is a woman who lives down the block from me and she and her brother competed for Greece in the Winter Olympics in Luge. Their Grandfather was from Greece and since apparently Greece has no Lugers, they pretty much got in just for makiing the effort.JeffB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaltimoreFan Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 It is possible for someone to have citizenship in more than one country. I heard somewhere that Jews can have both American and Isreali citizenship, just for being Jewish. Even if you have never been to Isreal. I may have heard wrong though.
