Some people claim they ‘never forget where they came from’… Keanu puts his money where his mouth is. He just did it again.
With Keanu being such an A-list icon in Hollywood for so long, it’s easy to forget that he’s actually a Canadian. We won’t hold that against him. But in this case, being a Canuck is part of the story of how great he was.
Long before he had become ‘Neo’ from the Matrix, ‘Jack’ from Speed, or even ‘Ted’ having an Excellent Adventure, Keanu was a Canadian kid living typical Canadian dreams.
Where American kids dream of the winning run in the bottom of the 9th or the game-winning touchdown in the Superbowl, Canadian kids default to dreams of hoisting the Stanley Cup.
Like so many Canadian kids, he played hockey in a kid. He even tried out for the Junior team as a goalie. He didn’t make the cut, went to Hollywood instead and taught an entire generation to ‘Be excellent to each other’.
He took his own advice. Years later, he went back to the same team he tried out for, and signed a one-day contract with the team… for the very best of reasons.

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! Welcome to the #YQG Keanu Reeves!
Signed items will be auctioned off with 100% of the proceeds benefiting the Canadian Mental Health Association – Windsor.
(Notice how his bio there never even mentions Hollywood? Nice touch. Classy.)
We here at Clash love giving Hollywood the grief they so richly deserve.
Keanu is an exception to that rule.
Dear young Christian male, this book you’re about to read is meant to challenge you to your very core. Its intent is not to make you feel warm and fuzzy. Some of the chapters will upset you greatly, especially if you’re a dandy who was raised with kid gloves by a helicopter mommy.
That said, in addition to the holy introspection contained herein, this book will also shoot adrenaline into your soul. It’ll push you to be a Godly risk taker and earth shaker. A veritable Rebel With A Cause just like the Captain of Our Salvation, the Lord Jesus Christ.
If you want a feel-good book that tickles your ears and morphs you into a little Christian popinjay, this tome ain’t for you. You should put this book down and walk away from it immediately. However, if, young man, if … your motto is to give God your utmost for His highest, and you wanna live a life worthy of Christ’s death, then this book will be grist for your mill.
