Rocque went undefeated in her round robin pool which gave her a berth in the championship pool. She finished 9–1 after the championship pool, with her only loss coming at the hands of Nova Scotia's Mary Fay. This meant that Rocque and her team would go directly to the final, where they would face British Columbia's Kalia Van Osch.

Rocque also played for the University of Alberta (The Pandas) team, for the second time, in the 2014 CIS/CCA Curling Championships. The Pandas went 6–1 in the round robin, which gave them a bye to the final. They would lose the final however, in a 9–4 decision, to the Carleton Ravens, earning her a second silver medal. Rocque had the second highest skip percentage at the end of the round robin, which would lead her to be named to the second All Star Team at the skip position.

In 2015, Rocque and her new team (her old team having aged out) of Danielle Schmiemann, Holly Jamieson and Jesse Iles would compete for and win her second Alberta Junior Curling Championship, earning her and her team a berth at the 2015 Canadian Junior Curling Championships in Corner Brook where she defended her title with her new team by going 9–1 in the round robin giving her a birth to the final, where they won against Ontario's Chelsea Brandwood 8–2. She joined Cathy King, Suzanne Birt, and Kaitlyn Lawes as the fourth junior woman skip to win back-to-back Canadian Junior Curling Championships titles. Rocque would cap the season off by going undefeated to win the 2015 World Junior Curling Championships, becoming the first Canadian skip to win back to back women's world junior championships.

Later on that year, Rocque would skip her University of Alberta Panda's team at a third CIS/CCA Curling Championships. This time, they would go on to win the championship, and get the chance to represent Canada at the 2016 Winter Universiade. Rocque has also won two juvenile Alberta titles. Following the 2014–15 season, it was announced that Rocque, aging out of juniors, would join Chelsea Carey's old rink, with Taylor McDonald at second, Jen Gates at lead, and Laura Crocker at the third position. In their first season together, the Rocque rink won the Red Deer Curling Classic and the CCT Uiseong Masters on the tour. The team played in five slams, making it to the quarterfinals in four events. Team Rocque played in the 2016 Alberta Scotties Tournament of Hearts, but failed to make the playoffs. The team also played in the 2015 Canada Cup of Curling, but finished with a 2–4 record, missing the playoffs. The following season, the team had less success on the tour. They would play in four slams, making it to the quarterfinals in just one event, the 2016 GSOC Tour Challenge. The team played in the 2016 Canada Cup of Curling, but once again missed the playoffs with a 2–4 record. In the 2017–18 season, Team Rocque would win the Curl Mesabi Classic and would play in three slams, making it to the quarterfinals at just the 2018 Meridian Canadian Open. The team played in the 2017 Canadian Olympic Curling Pre-Trials, losing in the playoffs. Midway through the season, Walker took over skipping duties of the team, but remained throwing third stones. The Rocque rink played with the new arrangement at the 2018 Alberta Scotties Tournament of Hearts, where they narrowly missed the playoffs. The next month it was announced that the team would be splitting up.^[3] For the 2018–19 season, Rocque reunited with her junior team of Danielle Schmiemann, Rebecca Konschuh and Jesse Iles. The team made it all the way to the final of the 2019 Alberta Scotties Tournament of Hearts where they lost to Chelsea Carey 8–3.

The team had a strong 2019–20 season, starting it off with a semifinal finish at the 2019 Cameron's Brewing Oakville Fall Classic. The team qualified for the playoffs at the 2019 Tour Challenge Grand Slam event where they lost to eventual winners Anna Hasselborg. Going into the 2020 Alberta Scotties Tournament of Hearts, Rocque was the number one seeded team, earning their spot through the CTRS points leader berth. They went 6–1 through the round robin, with their only loss to the Laura Walker. They would play Walker again in the 1 vs. 2 game where they lost 7–1. They had a strong semifinal game, able to easily defeat Krysta Hilker 8–1 setting up the third match for Rocque and Walker during the competition. The team struggled during the final, not able to figure out the ice and losing the final for the second straight year in a row. Rocque still got to participate in the 2020 Scotties Tournament of Hearts as the alternate for the Walker rink. Rocque played in two games at the Hearts, and the team finished pool play with a 3–4 record, failing to qualify for the championship round. It would be the team's last event of the season as both the Players' Championship and the Champions Cup Grand Slam events were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.^[4] On March 18, 2020, it was announced that both Becca Hebert and Jesse Marlow would be leaving the team.^[5] Rocque and Schmiemann then announced on March 21 that Dana Ferguson and Rachelle Brown would be joining them for the 2020–21 season.^[6][7]

Due to the pandemic, most of the tour events during the 2020–21 season were cancelled. Team Rocque played only one competitive game together during the entire season at the Okotoks Ladies Classic in November. After the first draw, the event was cancelled due to a province-wide shutdown in Alberta.^[8] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Alberta, the 2021 provincial championship was also cancelled. As the reigning provincials champions, Team Laura Walker were chosen to represent Alberta at the 2021 Scotties Tournament of Hearts.^[9] However, due to many provinces cancelling their provincial championships as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada, Curling Canada added three Wild Card teams to the national championship, which were based on the CTRS standings from the 2019–20 season.^[10] Team Rocque was one of the top three non-qualified teams, but they did not retain at least three of their four players from the previous season, meaning they could not qualify for the national championship.^[11]

In their first event of the 2021–22 season, Team Rocque reached the quarterfinals of the 2021 Alberta Curling Series: Saville Shoot-Out. Due to the pandemic, the qualification process for the 2021 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials had to be modified to qualify enough teams for the championship. In these modifications, Curling Canada created the 2021 Canadian Curling Trials Direct-Entry Event, an event where five teams would compete to try to earn one of three spots into the 2021 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials.^[12] Team Rocque qualified for the Trials Direct-Entry Event due to their CTRS ranking from the 2019–20 season. At the event, the team went 3–1 through the round robin, enough to secure their spot at the Olympic Trials.^[13] Next, Team Rocque played in both the 2021 Masters and the 2021 National Grand Slam events. After failing to reach the playoffs at the Masters, the team made it all the way to the semifinals of the National where they were defeated by Tracy Fleury.^[14] It was the furthest Rocque had ever advanced in a Grand Slam event. A few weeks later, they competed in the Olympic Trials, held November 20 to 28 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.^[15] At the event, the team began by losing five of their first six games. They then won their final two games, which included a victory over Kerri Einarson, to finish in seventh place with a 3–5 record.^[16] In their final game against Einarson, the team shot a high 95% which included a 94% game by Rocque.^[17] Team Rocque then competed in the 2022 Alberta Scotties Tournament of Hearts, where they posted a 6–1 record through the round robin. This created a three-way tie between Rocque, Laura Walker and the Casey Scheidegger rink, however, as Walker had to best draw shot challenge between the three rinks, they advanced directly to the final. In the semifinal, Team Rocque fell 10–7 to Team Scheidegger, eliminating them from contention.^[18] On March 21, 2022, the team announced that they would be staying together despite the Olympic quadrennial coming to an end.^[19]

Team Rocque began the 2022–23 season at the 2022 Saville Shoot-Out where they missed the playoffs with a 3–2 record. The team next played in the 2022 PointsBet Invitational. They defeated Christina Black in the first round before losing to Kerri Einarson in the quarterfinals.^[20] Team Rocque were invited to compete in the 2022 Tour Challenge Tier 2 event where they qualified for the playoffs with a 3–1 record. They then lost to Clancy Grandy 7–4 in the quarterfinals.^[21] After winning the last chance qualifier in Rimbey, the team qualified for the 2023 Alberta Scotties Tournament of Hearts.^[22] There, Team Rocque had mixed results, ultimately missing the playoffs with a 4–3 record.^[23] The team announced on February 6, 2023, that they would be parting ways.^[24] At the end of the season, Rocque spared for Beth Peterson at the Best of the West U30 event. The team made it to the final where they were defeated by Corryn Brown.^[25]
