One of the accolades Rogers has received in 2003-04 was an invitation to attend the 2004 Top Prospects Game. In the event’s skills competition, recorded the hardest shot, registering a blistering slapshot clocked at 96.8 mph.
The 6’5 rearguard was one of few who were invited to the 2003 Canadian National Under-18 Development and Selection Camp where he was selected to skate on Canada’s roster for the U18 Junior World Cup, held in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. This event wasn’t Rogers’ only taste of international experience, as he was a member of the silver medal winning Canadian National Under-18 Team in 2004.
2008-09: Traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs in the deal that sent Richard Petiot to the Tampa Bay Lightning.
