[24] The Rockers MC was first set up in March 26 of 1992 by then-President of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club (HAMC) Montreal charter, Maurice "Mom" Boucher.

The Rockers were officially established a couple years before the Quebec Biker War began by high-ranking Hells Angels crime boss Mom Boucher.

In addition, the club was also setup as a means to distance the Hells Angels from unwanted police attention that would especially come from "street-level" crimes, and - thus, were often called upon to carry out HAMC's so-called "dirty work".

[29] Woolley, an up-and-coming crime boss who got his start as an early member of the small-time Crack Down Posse street gang, had already worked alongside the Hells Angels as Maurice Boucher's bodyguard and earned his reputation after successfully forging an alliance between HAMC and the influential Italian-Canadian Rizzuto crime family (as well as several of the area's local street gangs) to manage Greater Montreal's illicit drug market.

[37] The resulting one-percenter supporter club that came about was the Redliners, which Stadnick plan ned to oppose two of Western Canada's dominant biker gangs: the Los Brovos and the Spartans MC.

As a newly initiated member, Simard committed his first serious crime for them in early February 1997 after he shot and seriously wounded a drug dealer who had owed money to the club along with his girlfriend who was also present at the scene of the attack.

[44] Acting on behalf of the Hells Angels, this newly-formed support charter oversaw the drug trade in Laval as well as the lower Laurentides region in Southwestern Quebec.

[citation needed] In 1998, gang hitman Aime Simard testified against five Rockers MC bikers before he was sentenced to life imprisonment on three counts of second-degree murder along with other criminal offenses.
