 | It's been 48 years since the Popeyes de Sorel officially became the Hells Angels of Montreal. The Popeyes were patched over to the Hells Angels in 1977. The Popeyes were founded by Michel "Sky" Langlois, Gilles "Super Gilles" Charette, Roger Calve and Yvon "Gorille" Bilodeau in 1965. The Popeyes had a reputation for being the most prosperous and were the most violent motorcycle club in Montreal. It was a match made in heaven. |
 | At their peak, the Popeyes were the second-largest OMG in Canada, second only to the Satan's Choice. They became the first chapter of the HAMC in Canada. (Montreal North) Virtually none of the Popeyes spoke or understood English. Only a fraction of them were considered worthy of joining the Hells Angels. |  |
 Yves 'Apache' Trudeau was supposed to be among the bikers killed. He turned rat after avoiding his fate. | Hitman Yves 'Apache' Trudeau (the mad bomber) was a member of the Popeye MC. He committed over 40 murders. Other Popeye members that became leading HA include Laurent 'L'Anglais' Viau, Normand 'Billy' Labelle, Robert 'Tiny' Richard, Denis 'Le Cure' Kennedy, Jean-Pierre 'Matt le Crosseur' Mathieu, Jean-Guy 'Brutus' Geoffrion and Michel 'Sky' Langlois. Langlois and Viau played a key role in the Lennoxville massacre. |
