Keanu Reeves’s hockey career is finally getting the proper sendoff it deserves.

Thursday, the Windsor Spitfires announced that they signed the movie star to a one-day OHL contract.
“In a moment of happenstance, the Windsor Spitfires Hockey Club were finally able to add this former Ontario Hockey League goalie prospect, turned Dogstar bass player, to their roster with a one day contract!” the Spitfires wrote on X.
Reeves was set to play in the OHL during the early 80s, but couldn’t due to an injury per Bleacher Report.
Reeves, according to Wikpedia, played on the hockey team at De La Salle College, a Catholic college preparatory institution, in Toronto. The school’s 1982 yearbook features a photo of Reeves with the rest of the team in his goalie gear. The Pinterest page that published the pic says Reeves’s hockey nickname was “The Wall” and he had aspirations to play for the Canadian National Olympic team.
Elite Prospects has a page for Keanu saying he played for the De La Salle team in 1981-82, but do not have any of his stats.
Reeves eventually gave up his hockey dream and decided to become an actor at age 15. He left De La Salle to attend Avondale Secondary Alternative School so that he could get an education and act at the same time. He dropped out of high school when he was 17 and made his feature-film debut five years later in the hockey movie Youngblood.
Keeves went on to appear in more than 80 films, most importantly Bram Stoker’s Dracula, in which he perfected an English accent.
A versatile talent, Reeves played John Wick in John Wick, Johnny Mnemonic in Johnny Mnemonic, Johnny Silverhand in Cyberpunk 2077, Don John in Much Ado About Nothing, and Johnny Utah in Point Break, which is widely considered by some writers on this site to be the most re-watchable film ever made
That same year, 1991, Reeves starred in Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey, My Own Private Idaho, and the music video for Paula Abdul’s “Rush Rush.”
Reeves also plays bass in the band Dogstar, speaks fluent French and a little Japanese, and performed all his stunts in The Matrix despite having a spinal injury at the time.
During his contract signing, Reeves autographed several hockey items. They will be auctioned off with the proceeds benefiting the Canadian Mental Health Association – Windsor.
