Chanel Beckenlehner, Miss Universe Canada 2014, is a finalist in the Miss Universe National Costume Fan Vote.

The outfit featured 10 Hockey sticks, a scoreboard, a goal and a Stanley Cup atop a bright white wig,

The Costume includes a corseted bustier emblazoned with a black and white Maple Leaf. The back of her voluminous skirt features blue lines and faceoff circles representing a Hockey arena.

Custom-made knee-high, lace-up boots with heels meant to mimic a skate blade.

The top of the costume has a functional electronic scoreboard created by Toronto special effects company Acme FX.

The whole costume weighs about 20 pounds, and what’s really neat and what people didn’t get to see — because it’s underneath and I’m corseted in — is that I had a custom moulding made of my back in order to support the scoreboard.

Miss Canada's costume pays respect to the sport of Ice Hockey. There is no greater force that unifies Canadians than hockey. It brings together communities and it teaches our children the meaning of dedication to sport and teamwork.

Chanel Beckenlehner would go on to be the Winner of the Miss Universe National Costume Fan Vote.

According to a blog post on Miss Universe Canada's website, the kitschy costume was designed by the "talented Canadian film and television costume designer Alex Kavanagh."

The organization wrote the following of Kavanagh's creation:

"The concept for the costume is to pay respect to the sport of Ice Hockey. It truly is a sport that defines Canada. All across the country, on frozen backyard ponds, community rinks and in state-of-the-art arenas, Canadians are playing this national winter sport. It is one of our most celebrated pastimes! The game is invariably tied to our collective sense of what it means to be Canadian and is perhaps our most identifiable icon. There is no greater force that unifies Canadians than Hockey. It brings together communities and it teaches our children the meaning of dedication to sport and teamwork. Most importantly however, it shows the pride we have for our country! Hockey is a part of our national identity and culture!"
