Lane Hutson isn’t switching sides, no matter what his dad says.
The Montreal Canadiens defenceman made it clear Monday he’s committed to USA Hockey, brushing off the chatter his father stirred about a possible future with Canada.
“I’m proud to be American and love USA Hockey, they’ve done so much for me,” Hutson said at the Canadiens’ season-opening golf tournament. “I love playing in Canada and I’m very fortunate, but I’m a USA Hockey player and that’s how it is.”
A viral clip spread around social media earlier this month when, after Lane was left off USA Hockey’s 44-player Olympic orientation camp roster, Rob Hutson noted his sons hold dual citizenship.
“You never know what happens in the future, like my boys are also Canadian,” Rob Hutson said on the Recrutes Habscast podcast. “There is an absolute luxury there.”
Rob Hutson — originally from Bowsman, Man. — then pointed to Hall of Famer Brett Hull, a dual Canadian-American citizen who represented the United States after Canada passed him over for the 1986 world championships.
“He voted with his feet — he went from Canada to the U.S.,” he said. “There’s all types of scenarios that are, I wouldn’t say in play, but are possibilities.”
Lane Hutson, last season’s Calder Trophy winner as NHL rookie of the year, suggested his dad got a little carried away.
