Keanu Reeves Signs With Canadian Hockey Team Nearly 40 Years After He First Tried Out As A Kid
Keanu Reeves is considered one of the most talented actors in Hollywood. Because he is from Canada, fans could assume that there is something stereotypically Canadian about him, and they would be correct.
Many Canadians grow up watching hockey. It’s one of the country’s pastimes and most players who want to become professionals want to play in one of the three major junior leagues: the WHL, OHL, or the QMJHL.
Reeves started the game late. He was born in Lebanon and spent time in Australia and New York before moving to Toronto. When he got to Canada as a kid, he started playing Goalie, and he seems to have done pretty well for himself.
Reeves tried out for the Windsor Spitfires of the WHL in his teens; unfortunately, his career was cut short due to an injury. While his injury may have been unfortunate at the time, luckily, he benefited, and so did Hollywood as he decided to focus on his acting career.
