Ten hockey sticks for angel wings? A Stanley Cup tiara? A goalie net skirt? Elbow pads? Boots that look like skates? A LED scoreboard backdrop with a score of 20-14 early in the third period? What is happening here?!!!
In her attempt to pursue the Universe’s crown, Miss Universe Canada Chanel Beckenlehner of Caledon, Ontario has certainly captured the world’s attention as her flamboyant, hockey-inspired costume has gone completely viral.
The 26-year-old strutted out on the stage Wednesday night wearing a costume that may have very well been designed by Lady Gaga, Hudson’s Bay Company and Roots. Altogether, the costume is said to have a weight of 25 pounds.
In the end, the spectacle worked as Beckenlehner is now a finalist in the pageant’s national costume fan vote. The other four costume finalists are Argentina, Germany, India and Indonesia.
If you want Miss Universe Canada to win in this portion of the pageant, tweet using both #MissUniverseCanada and #MissUniverse. The voting period ends on Sunday, January 25 at 6:45 p.m. PST.

First question about the #misscanada costume: is the score really 20-14? If so, nice of her to celebrate Oilers-Blackhawks games from 1985. — Andrew Ennals (@andrewennals) January 22, 2015
“Even wonder what would happen if Don Cherry and Lady Gaga collaborated on a costume?” #MissCanada @cinnapuff9 pic.twitter.com/xjNSf2oz0I
