Lasting from 1992 until 2001, the group played a significant role in the ill-famed Quebec Biker War.[22] Acting not only as a recruitment tool to test the competence of bikers wanting to become Hells Angels, the Rockers Motor Club was also utilized to carry out numerous unlawful objectives of the Angels which included intimidation, violentassaults, and assassinations of their rivals in an effort to help the ladder obtain total control over the nation's illegal drug trade.[21][23]
Prior to the formation of the Angels-affiliated Rockers Motor Club in the early 1990s, another biker gang had coincidentally existed in the same area known as the Montreal Rockers Motorcycle Club, also nicknamed "the Rockers". This particular group emerged as a supporter club for the Montreal chapter of the Outlaws MC before eventually working its way up to become their second chapter within the city in 1978.[24]
