Rogles won the German championship with the Kölner Haien in 2002 .

Career

Rogles began his career in 1989 in the team at Clarkson University , with whom he played in the US college ECAC hockey . With the Golden Knights he was able to reach the championship final of the ECAC in 1991 and 1993. Consequently, the team was eligible to participate in the NCAA ice hockey championship. Rogles was a regular goalkeeper for the Golden Knights during this time and regularly recorded a good catch rate. His best season was also his last at Clarkson University. He was used in 24 games and only conceded 2.42 goals on average. This was his best value so far. The then 24-year-old then finished his studies and moved to the International Hockey League for the Indianapolis Ice .

In the following three years, his career was marked by several club changes within the IHL. During this time he played for the Las Vegas Thunder and the Minnesota Moose, among others . During the 1995/96 season he decided to move to Europe and signed a contract with IF Troja-Ljungby from the second highest Swedish division, Division 1 (now HockeyAllsvenskan ). Rogles performed well and in the summer of 1997 got a contract offer from the Düsseldorfer EG. He decided to become involved in the German ice hockey league and from then on developed into one of the best goalkeepers in the German elite league. For the 1998/99 season he joined the Kassel Huskies , with whom he was able to reach the play-off semi-finals in 2000 and 2001 . He was also named the best goalkeeper of the 1998/99 DEL season . Due to the good performance, he recommended himself for the US national team , with which he took part in the 1999 World Cup in Japan . However, Rogles came up with no commitment for his motherland.

In summer 2001 he left the Huskies for Cologne . With the sharks he celebrated the greatest sporting successes of his career so far. In his first season at the KEC, he won the German championship in 2002 . Rogles proved to be a powerful ambush and thus played a large part in this success. In the following year he could almost have repeated this success, but failed with his team in the final against the penguins from Krefeld . This was also the best game year in his career, so he could have an average of only 1.84.

Finally, Rogles was nominated again in 2003 for the US national team, with which he took part in the World Cup in Finland in the same year . He was used a total of three times and reached the 13th place with the United States team. Thus, one narrowly escaped relegation to the B-WM.

After two more years with the Haien, with whom he won the DEB Cup in 2004, his contract was not renewed. At the height of his career he was also nominated by fans and journalists for the 2005 DEL All-Star Game . He then decided to join the Grizzly Adams Wolfsburg, who were playing in the 2nd Bundesliga at the time. He stayed there with his new club, however, only until 2007 and rose with the Grizzly Adams after a play-off final victory against the Kassel Huskies in the DEL. After returning to the top German league, Rogles was only used irregularly.

In 2008 he ended his active ice hockey career at the age of 39.
