Daniel Alfredsson to become Canadian citizen during World Cup in Toronto

Daniel Alfredsson is set to become a man with two countries.

The Sweden native, and former Ottawa Senators captain, will officially become a Canadian citizen during a special ceremony at the Scotiabank World Cup of Hockey Fan Village in Toronto as part of the World Cup, along with 102 other new citizens, the Senators announced.

Alfredsson played 17 seasons with the Senators and currently serves as a senior advisor of hockey operations with the club.

Last month, the Senators announced that the team would raise Alfredsson's No. 11 to the rafters ahead of a game against the Detroit Red Wings on Dec. 29.
