Candidates show off national costumes at 63rd annual Miss Universe competition

MIAMI - Miss Universe Canada is hoping to take home the crown at the pageant, but she's already scored big buzz with her outlandish hockey-themed costume.

Chanel Beckenlehner took to the stage in a preliminary Miss Universe competition sporting a corseted bustier emblazoned with a black and white Maple Leaf.

The Caledon, Ont., native paired it with a skirt resembling goal-post netting.
