Keanu's been known to bend over backwards for charity before. Since his bass dance card is no longer full, here's hoping he'll make some Chicago area ARIZONA fans happy and take part in this hockey event.
From the Chicago Tribune:
Miss hockey? Skate for charity.You won't be able to watch the NHL All-Star Game because it has been cancelled during this locked-out season. But you can play in an All-Star Game of sorts in December.
Former Blackhawks star Jeremy Roenick is staging "J.R.'s Wicked Weekend," a charity event for the Kita Children's Foundation over Dec. 10-12 in Arizona that includes a round of golf and participation in a fantasy camp-like hockey game.
Your golfing foursome could include the likes of Tony Amonte, Steve Yzerman or Doug Weight, while your linemate in the hockey game might be Mario Lemieux or Mike Modano.
Also invited: hockey-playing actors Kiefer Sutherland, Cuba Gooding Jr., Keanu Reeves and Matthew Perry. For information, call (312) 280-5188.
Note that it only says he's invited, not confirmed so don't go booking a flight just yet.
***Thanks to Carrie for pointing out that this event will take place in ARIZONA, which is like, right next door to Nevada.
However, I have serious, would-not-change-for-anything-not-even-the-chance-to-body-check-Reeves plans that weekend.
media spot | from inside the mind of krix at November 24, 2004 12:11 PM .I'm really stupid....lol...but where will this game be taking place in Chicago?
Sorry, I don't have any more info, there's a phone number in the article though.

i love that streak of charity in him...
Thanks Krix. I'll get my friend to check it out. :)
Posted by: Keanu_Soul on November 24, 2004 01:47 PMDoesn't the article say it is in Arizona on Dec 10-12, not Chicago?

Posted by: carrie on November 24, 2004 01:57 PMIt sure does. I'm a doofus.
Posted by: krix on November 24, 2004 01:58 PMSorry for the double post! I live in Chicago and it is a little too cold to play a round of golf in Dec! ;)
Posted by: carrie on November 24, 2004 01:59 PMNo problem, thanks for pointing it out.
Posted by: krix on November 24, 2004 02:24 PMTaking place in Arizona WITHOUT fans from Chicago? *shock and surprise*
I doubt many Chicagoland fans will fly in for it, but I'm sure they support it. It's for a good cause(charity).
What's up with the Chicago number?
Posted by: Keanu_Soul on November 24, 2004 05:41 PMBecause the organizer is a former (Chicago) Blackhawks player?
Posted by: Nudel on November 24, 2004 05:55 PMChicago, Arizona, Whatever. I want to know what krix' plans for the weekend are.
I mean,
"would-not-change-for-anything-not-even-the-chance-to-body-check-Reeves" kind of plans?
That's gotta be serious. A new beau perhaps? :D
V.'s coming to Vegas that weekend.
I plan on getting him drunk and taking him to the drive-thru wedding chapel under the guise of going for tacos.
omg!!!! try the little brown church...or if you have the budget i researched the chapel at the venetian... snazzy!
there's a chance to body cheek reeves???
ok!
No fucking way-he's coming my way! Quick-someone tell me where in Az?

...hard to imagine, but there are some things that might even be worth it...although I can think of only one.
Posted by: lizzie on November 25, 2004 08:17 AMwow, tacos will do the trick? way cool, woman! anyway, body checking a goalie wouldn't get you much touch, now would it?
Posted by: lori on November 25, 2004 02:41 PMWhere in Az? I'm in Tucson...

Posted by: e. on November 26, 2004 11:36 AMI feel happy for all of those people in Arizona. He should do away from home things more often... ahem East Coast, ahem ahem.
Posted by: Cornflakes on November 26, 2004 04:12 PMI think I'll have to wear my pads while in Vegas... you know, in case those tacos make her get all hands mad for nature.
