PLYMOUTH, Mich. — He is the son of a Canadian hockey star and he shares a given name with a famous Canadian actor, but as far as Kieffer Bellows is concerned, he’s all American.
“You grow up in the U.S. and there’s just a pride factor that you want to play for the U.S., even though my dad played for Canada,” explained Bellows, the son of 17-season NHLer Brian Bellows.
Like his namesake, Canadian actor Kiefer Sutherland, who gained fame playing American Jack Bauer on the television series 24, the younger Bellows, the son of a Canadian hockey star, is gaining fame playing for the United States.
