Andrei Markov: Oath Of Citizenship

Dozen Countries Dept: At a ceremony on Friday morning Markov took his oath of citizenship, along with 31 people from a dozen countries, according to CTV. Members of the Canadiens management team flanked Markov as he posed for pictures after the ceremony and andrei Markov has long been a proud member of the Canadiens, but until now, the Russian defenceman was not a Canadian citizen. Markov has played his entire ten-year career with the Habs, and while he has not won the top prize in the NHL, the judge told the 31-year-old player that with his citizenship card "you have won the Stanley Cup." As reported in the news.
