Rugby career

She won a gold medal at the 2019 Pan American Games as a member of the Canada women's national rugby sevens team. After the win over the United States she said that "It's unreal, I can't believe this has happened. This was our biggest opponent so we were a bit (nervous). But we definitely used those nerves coming into this final and we came out on top thankfully." [3] Hogan-Rochester plays in primarily the wing or fullback positions. [1]

She was chosen for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France. [4] The team won a silver medal, coming from 0–12 behind to defeat Australia 21–12 in the semi-finals, [5] before losing the final to New Zealand. [6] [7]

She was named in Canada's squad for the 2025 Pacific Four Series. [8] [9] In July, she made the selection into Canada's Rugby World Cup squad. [10] [11]
