The Green Men make glorious return to Canucks game at Rogers Arena

Everyone’s favourite green spandex-suited Vancouver Canucks fans returned to Rogers Arena tonight.

Eight years after they last suited up, The Green Men surprised and delighted Canucks fans with a WWE-style entrance during the first period of Vancouver’s game against the Boston Bruins.

Bruins forward James van Riemsdyk struggled to keep a straight face in the penalty box, as The Green Men gyrated their hips and wiggled their arms in the air.

SURPRISE! We can't believe it's been 8yrs since we suited up. Let's blow the roof off this place Vancouver! We have some fun stuff planned 😎🧇

Often imitated but never duplicated since they retired from terrorizing penalized opponents years ago, there was no doubt that this was Sully and Force, the real Green Men.

The Green Men seemed to scare the Bruins away from the penalty box, because they didn’t take another penalty until overtime.

It was a big one though, because it led to the winning goal by the Canucks.

So, will they be back?

“Never say never,” Sully told Daily Hive. “We were so honoured by the team reaching out and humbled by the fans’ reaction tonight. This was such a special night man, I can’t even tell you. It was just the absolute perfect storm.”
