International Play
During the 2010 Winter olympics, Hossa scored the game-tying goal in the third period against Russia during the preliminary round.

'''In the bronze medal game, Hossa scored a goal and an assist while versing Finland. Slovakia lost to Finland 3-5, and ended up placing 4th overall in the Olympics.'''

During the 2004-05 NHL lockout, Hossa played for Mora IK, a professional ice hockey team in Sweden.

'''Hossa also played for Slovakia in the 2014 Winter Olympics at Sochi. Though Slovakia lost all four games, Hossa ended up scoring two goals and an assist.'''

In 2016 it was announced that Hossa would play for Team Europe at the World Cup of Hockey.

Retirement
Before the start of the 2017-2018 season, the Blackhawks revealed that Hossa was suffering from a progressive skin disorder called eczema and would miss the entire 2017-18 season while undergoing treatment.

In may 2018, Hossa announced he could no longer play professional hockey due to complications from his skin disorder. Hossa states that if it was not for his condition, he thinks that he could have still played a few more years.

On 24 June 2020, Hossa was elected into the Hall of Fame. He is the third Slovak-born player to be inducted into the Hall of Fame following Stan Makita and Peter Statny.

'''Hossa is only the second player to go to the Hall of Fame while still under contract. He joins Chris Pronger, who was in the same position as Hossa, but was inducted back in 2015.'''

Plans after retirement
'''Although no one knows what Hossa’s plans are after his contract ends and he officially retires, there is a chance that he might come back to Chicago someday in the future. In one interview he states “I would love to, so we’ll see what happen after my contract is done, but definitely there’s lots of love for me for Chicago and great people I got a chance to work with. So definitely that would be something I would look forward to and we’re gonna have a good talk and we’ll see what's gonna happen.”'''

His younger brother by two years, Marcel Hossa, drafted by the Montreal Canadiens in 2000, followed in his footsteps playing for both of Marián's previous junior teams, Dukla Trenčín and the Portland Winter Hawks, while the two have played together for Mora IK of the Elitserien during the 2004–05 NHL lockout and on the Slovak national team in the World Championships and Winter Olympics. Coincidentally, they were both dealt by their NHL teams on the day of the 2007–08 trade deadline — Marián from Atlanta to Pittsburgh and Marcel from the New York Rangers to the Phoenix Coyotes.The younger Hossa is currently playing overseas with HC Plzeň of the Czech Extraliga

'''Hossa also owns his own company called Hoss Corp located in Trenčín, Slovakia. His  company includes a non-profit organization, a sports complex, and apartment complexes that are coming soon. Hoss Heros, which is the non-profit organization, assembles charities and aims to improve the community especially in young athletes.
