Ok. Here is the deal: me as a person has to write this from two different perspectives. From Lasse Zeigler's point of view, he would have to choose the USA. He is put onto team Germany because of his birth, and yes he did live there for half of his childhood, but when he moved to Michigan around the age of 10, that's when he grew up and found a passion in both hockey and football. So for him, it would be an honor to play for both of his 'nationalities', per say. Plus on top of that, Lasse's not overly attached to Germany, he loves the team and the management, but his play while playing for Germany has been horrid, only 16 points in 60 games. As for me as an IIHF Federation Head, no way ever would I move Federations, I couldn't for one, and two, I love Germany and intend to stay here to help run the team and keep Zeigler there to be an influential player.
