Famous actor Keanu Reeves signs pro hockey contract
You may be familiar with Keanu Reeves, from such movies as The Matrix, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, Speed, and if you're a hockey nerd.. Youngblood.
He starred in the movie as the goalie of the Hamilton Mustangs, not quite the Hollywood famous actor we know now.
But he's always been known as a nice guy, and he contributed to a great cause this week as he joined the OHL's Windsor Spitfires this week.
He signed a one-day contract with the Spitfires, of which Keanu's contract and signed jersey from the day will be auctioned off.
The proceeds will go to the Canadian Mental Health Association of Windsor-Essex.
GM Brian Bowler and Co-owner Brian Schab were hyped about the signing:
«It's a big day for our organization,» said Bowler. «We are so proud to finally have Keanu on our squad. If he's half the goalie he was in Youngblood we should do well this season. We are big supporters of the CMHA and hope the auction for this extremely rare jersey will help such an important cause in our community.» Team Captain
Liam Greentree hopes that Reeves can share some of his moves from his leading films with the fellas. «We really could use some of those skills on the ice, and he plays in a band too? Keanu will get along great with the rest of the team for sure. Definitely a welcome addition.»
100% of the proceeds will go to the Canadian Mental Health Association of Windsor-Essex.
