Keanu Reeves signs with SpitfiresWindsor, ON – The Windsor Spitfires announced the signing of a new goaltending prospect on Thursday evening. Keanu Reeves signed on the dotted line with the club ahead of training camp, agreeing to terms on a one-day contract.
The former OHL goaltending prospect turned Dogstar bass player will have his jersey and a copy of his contract auctioned with 100% of the proceeds benefiting the Canadian Mental Health Association of Windsor-Essex.
Spitfires General Manager Bill Bowler was on hand to make the signing official along with team co-owner Brian Schwab.
“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.”

Thank you Keanu and Caesars Windsor.
Hockey dreams do come true.
