Dual citizenship has always been an interesting and touchy subject that leads to speculation, from prospects to pros. The most interesting is the USA/CAN players, as we have had a few interesting cases like Oleksiak, Matteau, Myers and more that I'm missing.
One to watch and I've noticed is Jakob Chychrun (Canadian father, but born and played in USA during his youth), 1st overall pick in the OHL. His request to play the USHL early was turned down by USAH. He represented Team Ontario and looks like he's in Canada's U17 challenge camp. Signs are pointing that he may end up on Canada's side even though he was born and developed in the USA, but we won't know until an IIHF tournament (Cole Cassels played for Ontario in the U17 challenge but tried for Team USA later on).
Any other interesting cases that we have had in the past?
Who are some players that we should be watching now for their decision?
Who's winning this battle at the moment?
