Not at the same time.

However, it is possible for an athlete to change Nationalities.

Peter Stastny has played internationally for 3 countries. Czechoslovakia first, Canada second after he took out Canadian citizenship, and finally Slovakia, after it had split from Czechoslovakia.

Bryan Trottier played for Canada in the 1981 Canada Cup, and for the USA in the 1984 Canada Cup

Mark Howe played for the US in the 1972 Olympics; for Canada in the 1974 Canada-USSR Series, and the USA again in the1981 Canada CUp.

What is the difference between professional hockey and olympic hockey?

There are a few differences between the two, most having to do with rules: * In Olympic hockey, the rink is longer and wider. * Goaltenders in the NHL are only allowed to play the puck behind the goal line within an octagonal shape marked by a visible line out from the back of the net. Olympic goaltenders can play the puck anywhere behind the net. * In the NHL when a player shoots the puck down the ice from his own half of the center line an opposing player must touch the puck first before icing is called. Olympic hockey uses "no touch" icing which means play is whistled dead as soon as the puck crosses the goal line. * If an Olympic player fights he is ejected from the game, whereas NHL players just serve a 5 minute penalty. These are just a few key examples, as naturally there are other differences. Basically, NHL play is more aggressive while Olympic hockey is more passive and positional.
