Actually it will be interesting since the Canucks who will be representing their countries are at home in Vancouver. First time in recent history where the Winter Olympics are in a city with a NHL team!

What about Grabner? Austria isn't exactly stacked so I wouldn't be surprised if he makes the team.

Austria didn't even qualify for the Olympics so that rules him out.

Where you're born determines who you play for. The one exception I can think of was Brett Hull, born in Ontario but played for the USA team. Luongo is from Montreal.

Hull only did it out of spite because Team Canada didn't invite him to play when he was young

Owen Nolan, born in Ireland, represented Canada
Olaf Kolzig, born in South Africa, represented Germany

It has more to do with which country you hold a citizenship with, not necessarily where you were born.

Edit: You can also count Paul DiPietro. Born in Canada but got Swiss citizenship and plays for their national team.

And one of the biggest names for international hockey for team Canada, Dany Heatly. He was born in Germany of all places, but he holds dual citizenship because his father was Canadian but played hockey in the German league.
