How writing hockey romance novels became an unexpected Happily Ever After for a former pro player
In 2019, Bill Keenan’s injured ballerina costume drew Olivia MacKinnon’s attention at a Halloween party, leading to a 15-minute conversation. After Keenan went to the bathroom to touch up his tutu, he returned to see MacKinnon speaking with her boyfriend, and he delivered a sucker punch to her midsection. Seven years later, Keenan and MacKinnon are married, with Keenan framing their outcome as a Happily Ever After. Keenan, a New York native and former Harvard hockey player, played as a No. 1 center, scored six goals per game in youth, appeared in six Crimson games in 2005-06 and 2006-07, retired in 2012 at 26, and earned an MBA from Columbia in 2016. He now writes hockey romance novels, describing a career shift after missing an NHL dream.
