Asia Clarice Hogan-Rochester (born 20 April 1999) is a Canadian rugby sevens and fifteens player. She won a silver medal at the 2024 Summer Olympics.
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]
