The Legend Of Keanu Reeves Grows

Actor Keanu Reeves is known for his acting skills, of course, but he's also become something of a legend off the screen with his many good deeds and general wholesome activities. That legend continued this week, as Reeves signed a one-day contract with the Windsor Spitfires of the Ontario Hockey League and will donate the proceeds of his signed jersey to a local mental health charity.

Reeves, many years ago, attempted to make the OHL as a goalie for the Spitfires. It didn't work out for him, but the actor has now come full circle and signed a ceremonial one-day contract to officially have his name in the books. His jersey and a copy of his contract will be auctioned off, and 100% of the proceeds are going to the Canadian Mental Health Association of Windsor-Essex.

Reeves met with Spitfires GM Bill Bowler and co-owner Brian Schwab to sign his contract. Bowler said, "We are so proud to finally have Keanu on our squad."
