Keanu Reeves signs 1-day contract with OHL’s Windsor Spitfires

Actor played goalie growing up, tried out for team as teenager

Keanu Reeves laced his skates back up for one day only.

The “Matrix” actor signed a one-day contract with the Ontario Hockey League’s Windsor Spitfires on Thursday.

Reeves, who grew up in Toronto, tried out for the team as a goalie prospect when he was a teenager but couldn’t play due to injury.

The Spitfires announced the addition to their roster alongside pictures of Reeves signing his contract and sporting his new jersey.

The team is also auctioning off all signed items by the actor with the proceeds benefiting the Canadian Mental Health Association of Windsor-Essex.

Ironically, Reeves’ first movie role was as a hockey goalie in the 1986 film “Youngblood” about a teenager trying to make it to the NHL. The movie also starred Rob Lowe and Patrick Swayze.

It’s never too late to live out a childhood dream.
