Matthews hits 40

Dual nationality and played internationally for the US, so I would guess he counts for “American” players in the record books. Not “American born” I suppose, since he was born in Ontario.

Peter Nedved has played for Canada, do you consider him Canadian?

 

[Confucius]

In a sports context, if someone has dual citizenship, I think all that matters is where they were raised and most importantly, where they were developed as an athlete. If Hull was developed in the 'States, then I say he's an American from a sports point of view.

Edit: Another poster just said he was trained and developed in Canada so that would change mind mind if true. Dunno myself.

yet he played for the U S in international tournaments.

Matthews wins. Never in doubt.

hull said he played for us because he wouldn’t have got picked for Canada. I would have too.m

every year there are tons of Canadian players who play internationally at tourneys for Swiss etc because they get papers.

The reason that every “us born” record is stated as such is because of training. Hull doesn’t count

heck heatley would be the highest scoring German forward of all time. Not Drai.
