Welcome back to another edition of Throwback Thursday!
It was 10 fateful years ago yesterday that history was made and The Green Men went upside down on Jack Johnson.
Force and Sully were legends around Vancouver making their first appearance on Dec. 22, 2009 and immediately launching into stardom.
They were Gritty before Gritty was, well, Gritty. They brought with them a hilarious persona and with them, some pretty tight green suits.
Now, 10 years ago yesterday they one of their more infamous moments when they uh.. shook it for LA Kings defenceman Jack Johnson.
What a blast! The pair stuck around for a few years eventually announcing their retirement on Nov. 7, 2014. You can see some of their finest work down below.
