I could be wrong but I vaguely recall Virtanen could've been elligible to play for Finland at WJC. Anyone else remember anything about that?

yes he has dual citizenship...

 

Early life[edit]

Virtanen was born August 17, 1996, in New Westminster, British Columbia, and spent his first 12 years living in Langley, British Columbia, before settling in nearby Abbotsford.[1][2] He attended Yale Secondary School, in Abbotsford, as well as the Yale Hockey Academy.[3] He played minor hockey in Abbotsford.[4] His father, Rainer, is originally from Finland.[4] Virtanen acquired jus sanguinis Finnish citizenship through his father.[2]
