It’s Extravaganza weekend in Sault Ste. Marie, with hockey rinks full of local and out-of-town teams competing in the city’s largest tournament of the season.
But this year, it's one of the vendors that has the kids really pumped.
The creators of Hockeybenders — a popular clothing brand driven by viral videos on YouTube, TikTok and Instagram — have made a road trip to town to sell their hoodies, toques and other merchandise throughout the tournament.
Last night, the duo spent some time at the Downtown Plaza's "awesome" outdoor rink, which they found while out "for a little stroll."

At last count, the TikTok video of their plaza outing has more than 22,000 views.
The Hockeybenders pop-up shop will be open today, tomorrow and Sunday at the YNCU Soo Pee Wee Arena.
