Keanu Reeves Signs Contract With Hockey Team
Keanu Reeves has signed a contract with a Canadian hockey team more than 40 years after he was supposed to have a tryout. Reeves, who grew up in Toronto, signed a one-day contract with the Ontario Hockey League's Windsor Spitfires and autographed items, including a team jersey, that will be auctioned off to support the local branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association. Reeves, goalkeeper for his high school team, missed a tryout for the Spitfires when he was a teenager due to injury. He decided to pursue an acting career instead—and in one of his first roles, he played a goalie in 1986's Youngblood. Reeves signed the contract on Thursday when he was in town for a show with his band Dogstar. Spitfires general manager Bill Bowler said Keanu is a "down-to-earth great guy." "We are so proud to finally have Keanu on our squad," Bowler joked in a statement. "If he's half the goalie he was in Youngblood we should do well this season."
