Yes, they should be allowed.

I think that if you were born in Canada and stayed until around 16ish... then you've earned the right to play for team CDN.

It gets really tricky if one moves away during the early years and comes back.

What if someone moved from Canada to Sweden at 5yrs old, became a great hockey player over there, and then came back to Canada at 18yrs... I'd say he would be SWE at heart.
