Talk:Alexander Steen

Permission for number
Did Steen need special permission to wear #10 on his jersey, since it's an "honoured number"? --Madchester 22:37, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Another Nationality Issue
Alex Steen is born in Canada, but with Swedish parents and moved back to Sweden when dad retired. He has lived most of his life in Sweden, played for Swedish youth teams, played for Sweden in youth/junior tournaments and was captain of the Swedish WJC team. Hdw 13:42, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Gah, foot-in-mouth :/ To clarify and possibly help others avoid it.

From: http://slam.canoe.ca/Slam020623/col_buffery-sun.html

-- Young Alexander stickhandled into the world in 1984, in Winnipeg, and he lived in Canada until he was 12, when his father signed to play in the German League in Berlin. Three years after that, the family moved on to Sweden. So while he is listed as a European in Central Scouting, Steen is, in fact, a dual citizen.

"I consider myself half Swedish and half Canadian," Steen said yesterday, shortly after donning his Leafs jersey. "This feels really good." -- Hdw 13:49, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

But, he respresents Sweden internationally therefore, despite holding dual citizenship, he should be considered to be Swedish. He will represent Sweden at the IIHF World Championship.

 * Why not just add that he represents Sweden in international play? I feel that's a pretty fair compromise....--Wafulz 22:00, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

A Canadian can not play for Sweden. That is, since he plays for Sweden he is Swedish. This is always the case. It doesn't matter if he has dual nationality. He is a Swedish hockey player because he plays for Sweden. --Lilyserbia (talk) 23:11, 26 December 2008 (UTC)


 * A Canadian CAN play for Sweden, or another country. He is a dual-citizen, which means he is both a Swedish citizen and a Canadian citizen. He is both Swedish and Canadian. To say he's only Swedish is just preposterous. In this year's Olympics, there were 3 players on Team Germany who were Canadian citizens and moved to Germany as adults.

 * Nice bump. It's irrelevant now since we have removed the nationality field from the infobox and replaced it with international representation. Cheers! —Krm500 (Communicate!) 04:01, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
