Kaitlyn Flynn went viral last postseason when she was seen flashing the crowd during an Edmonton Oilers game, which then led the team to win games.

The model became an overnight sensation last season when she had her unexpected moment in the NHL playoffs. Immediately after the huge Edmonton Oilers win, Flynn celebrated by flashing the crowd, and in minutes, a video of the incident went viral on social media. The video went viral on X because it captured the attention of hockey fans everywhere. Flynn remained silent over the incident and did not talk much to the media, but weeks later, she came back surefooted.

Her comeback was sealed, though, when she appeared on the extremely popular podcast called Spittin' Chiclets, where she really opened up about her sudden claim to fame. The interview only raised her stock, which then resulted in a major opportunity: an agreement with Playboy Magazine. The new platform gave her the space she needed to relish her unintended fame and talk more about her life after the incident, further sealing her status as a rising public figure.

Recently, Flynn gave an interview to Playboy and spoke candidly about how chaotic the changes in her life have been since that fateful playoff moment. Flynn talked about the change in life's direction that the viral moment brought her, presenting options she could hardly have foreseen a few short months prior.

Yet, amidst all the newfound fame and the side gigs in modeling, too, Flynn has remained pretty level-headed. She still works her regular job in the Alberta Oil Sands, balancing her public persona with her everyday life. And the fans, especially Oilers fans more than anyone else, have appreciated that she can keep a level head on her shoulders while capitalizing on her sudden stardom. Social media has been kind to her, too, as she has become somewhat of a darling within the Oilers fanbase, amassing more than 100,000 followers across all platforms.

All things considered, Kaitlyn Flynn has made the most of the unexpected fame that materialized. It is a life-changing opportunity that came rather spuriously from a heat of the moment of pure spontaneity; she even bought a new pickup truck. While it may be difficult to say what is next for this remarkably down-to-earth woman, who still clings closely to her roots, if the Oilers take another run deep in the playoffs, then we may just see her back in the spotlight once again.
