Rougeau assisted on the first goal in the history of the Canadian National Women's Under 18 program (on August 23, 2007 in Ottawa, Ontario).[4] The goal would be scored by future Cornell teammate Catherine White. In addition, she was team captain for that game. She was captain once more, as part of Canada's National Women's Under-18 Team as they won a silver medal at the 2008 IIHF World Women's Under-18 Championships. She was recognized as Top Defender.

She would compete with Canada's National Women's Under-22 Team in 2008 as part of a three-game series vs. the United States in Pierrefonds, Quebec.
