Rugby career

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. But we definitely used those nerves coming into this final and we came out on top thankfully." Hogan-Rochester primarily plays on the wing or as fullback.
They were chosen for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France. The team won a silver medal, coming from 0–12 behind to defeat Australia 21–12 in the semi-finals, before losing the final to New Zealand.
They were named in Canada's squad for the 2025 Pacific Four Series. In July, they made the selection into Canada's Rugby World Cup squad 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. With five tries across the tournament, they made it into the all-star team of the knock-out stage.
Hogan-Rochester signed for Sale Sharks Women during the 2025-2026 Premiership Women's Rugby season. They will join up with the team in January 2026.
