In case anyone was wondering, "Force and Sully", the Green Men (inspired by
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) who sit by the opposition penalty box from time to time, aren't employees of the organization in any way. Canucks.com had an article on them recently:

Following their appearances at GM Place, Force and Sully became YouTube viral sensations with over 280,000 views of their antics. They were also featured on Sportsnet, TSN and The Score. All that attention, naturally, spawned all sorts of crazy rumours, including a tall tale that Mike Gillis was so enthralled by Force and Sully’s antics that he personally called them and offered them tickets to sit beside the penalty box for any game they’d like to attend.
They say this definitely isn't true and wonder why there are people on online forums claiming to know them, etc.

For a pair of 20-something students, dealing with frosty temperatures and a lack of vision is no big deal. What does cause a problem, however, is that their suits are each a one piece. Do the math: no washroom breaks = no beer = not a lot of dance moves.
“We’re still trying to figure out the dilemma with drinking beer and going to the washroom,” chuckled Force.
