They are by definition in most countries
but for example considered a swede if dad or mom is swedish. Despite where they are born. Wahlström and Samuelsson, W.Nylander are all swedish by that definition. But also in the case with first 2,american. Not sure if Willy has canadian passport or citizenship.
Strange that they didnt mentioned Hull in most articles.

They still play for their home country in international competitions. Like you stated in the article, if their mothers or fathers are American, they are considered in some circles American regardless of the country their births took place.
