Miss Canada's hockey-inspired costume creates big buzz

MANILA, Philippines - Remember when USA’s Erin Brady made a buzz last year for dressing up like Optimus Prime for the Miss Universe? Well, it’s Miss Canada’s hockey-inspired costume's turn to be in the spotlight this year.

Twenty-year-old Miss Canada Chanel Beckenlehner of Caledon, Ontario left everyone in awe when she strutted her way to the stage while donning a hockey-inspired costume for the national costume competition.

Apart from the 10 hockey sticks attached and spread like wings on her back, the costume also includes a working electronic scoreboard headdress and a goalie-inspired mini skirt.

As of this posting, netizens continue to share their appreciation and disgust over the costume through the microblogging site Twitter. 

God Bless Miss Canada. By the looks of that score, she is also an advocate of bigger nets
