Celebrity Endorsement
The Chicago Blackhawks may have Vince Vaughn, but the Vancouver Canucks have Miss USA. She may not have sat at ice level during the playoffs, but Alyssa Campanella was cheering for Johnny Canuck with the passion of a Green Man from her home, south of the border.
It all started last October, when Campanella’s boyfriend, actor Torrance Coombs, took her to Rogers Arena to watch the Canucks take on the Colorado Avalanche. The game went to overtime and 28 seconds in, Mason Raymond scored to end the game with a 4-3 win.
Since that fateful night, Campanella has been hooked with the sport of hockey and specifically the brand played by the boys in blue and green.
“I was filled with adrenaline from how fast everything was,” Campanella said. “But what I loved most was the crowd because Vancouverites are so into their team.”
She tweeted all throughout the 2011 playoffs; so much that interviewers began to question her American loyalty.
“I’m pretty sure Californians feel a little bit of betrayal, but I have to say, I was a Vancouver fan before I even won Miss California USA, so it’s not like it’s anything personal, I just fell in love with the Canucks and now I’m loyal to them.”
Hopefully the Aquilini’s will find her a free pair of tickets close to the ice for next season.
