They are in fact Italian, otherwise they wouldn't be able to play on team Italy
But if you mean in the politically incorrect "I don't become Chineese simply because I move to China"-way, of course you're right
I simply meant that their hockey education were based in Canada and in that respect they are canadian players!
About whether im "politically incorrect" certainly depend on "local traditions":
Example: I don't become an Iroquios because I move into their territory in USA/Canada and neither if Im born there....and i don't become basque by being born in Bilbao.
Some nations have ethnicity and nation overlap and some don't! Some ethnic groups don't have nations, and some nations comprise of a comglomerate of ethnic groups.
So if you are born in an airplane as it crosses the border between two nations you should have dual nationality, or is it were the airplane started (a third country) or where it lands (a fourth country)....should the child then have quadruple citizen-ship??
Maybe it's easier to have nationality based on their parents and not where you are born
and if you are born in Antarctica are you then stateless (anything else than parents becomes nonsens).
