*puts on a do-not-hurt-me-cause-i-am-a-newb suit   |       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.

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.
