Lemieux has become an American citizen. The Canadian-born Lemieux swore his allegiance to the United States on Friday, June 26,2009, saying beforehand that he wants to share citizenship with his family. His second wife and three of his four children are American.

As he's done at NHL games for more than 20 years, Claude Lemieux put his hand on his heart Friday as he listened to the Star Spangled Banner. But this time, Lemieux did it as an American citizen. Holding a small American flag, the Canadian-born NHL veteran took the citizenship oath before a federal judge in Phoenix.
