Personal
McKechnie was a regular at The Strand Billiards in London while playing for the Ontario Hockey Association's London Nationals during the mid-1960s. The pool hall, owned by the late Len Bonk since it first opened in 1952 and closed in September 2005, was like a second home to McKechnie, who refers to The Strand as "the academy."
Today, McKechnie owns and operates "McKeck's", a family-style restaurant on Highland Street in Haliburton, Ontario.
Most recently his efforts are directed at fundraising for Prostate Cancer Canada.
