Rugby career
[edit]Asia 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, Hogan-Rochester 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 primarily plays on the wing or as fullback.[1]
They were 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]
They were named in Canada's squad for the 2025 Pacific Four Series.[8][9] In July, they made the selection into Canada's Rugby World Cup squad[10][11] and helped take Canada to the final against England. In the final, they opened scoring with a try in the fifth minute, going on to score both of Canada's tries in the 13–33 loss.[12][13] With five tries across the tournament, they made it into the all-star team of the knock-out stage.[14]
Hogan-Rochester signed for Sale Sharks Women during the 2025-2026 Premiership Women's Rugby season.[15][16] They will join up with the team in January 2026.
