Whitecaps FC, Rovde managed and directed the goalkeeper pathways program for the Youth Academy, producing six Canadian national team goalkeepers. Rovde was responsible for discovering goalkeeper Marco Carducci, who achieved "Player of the year" status two years in a row from the Canadian Soccer Association. Carducci captained Canada in the U17 World Cup. Canadian goalkeeper Simon Thomas, at one time released from Whitecaps FC, was reintroduced to the team by Rovde for two years as a training goalkeeper. Thomas earned a national men's first team game vs the United States Men's National Team in Houston in 2014 and is the only Canadian goalkeeper to have had a shutout vs USA in the last three decades. Simon Thomas went on to be a professional goalkeeper at the highest level in Norway and remains a regular on the Canadian men's national team. In recent years, Rovde has focused on clubs in the Vancouver area, and held pro-series goalkeeper camps with the Whitecaps FC. These popular camps drew goalkeepers from across Canada. Directing the programs while mentoring and supporting young athletes, both male and female, to reach the best versions of themselves has been a focus and commitment from Rovde and many of his graduates have played on national teams and for professional clubs.

Rovde worked closely with Minnesota's sports director, Manny Lagos, recruiting goalkeepers to the club, including Swedish national team goalkeeper John Alvbåge, experienced MLS goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth, USL goalkeeper of the year Patrick MacLain, and Alex Kapp. Shuttleworth finished off the season as the No. 1 goalkeeper and was voted MNUFC best overall player voted by the fans.
