The triumphant return of the two most famous Canucks fans was so perfectly timed, it’s like they planned it down to the whistle of a penalty call.

Those bodysuit-wearing Green Men went missing from Rogers Arena eight years ago, after terrorizing opposing players who sat in the penalty box during the Vancouver team’s best years, a decade ago.

Adam “Force” Forsythe, the larger guy in the lighter green, and Ryan “Sully” Sullivan are pals who became folk heroes among hockey fans for their sign-waving arena antics, then quietly tucked away those skintight outfits and got on with their lives.
