Sounds interesting. I'm not familiar with Ashlyn, tho' I've heard her name a few times. I would imagine that Desrochers trains at the same rink as Kieran, thus their pairing was likely smooth and convenient. Kieran is tall and strong, plus he picked up pair guy skills relatively quickly. He would make a good partner for many accomplished young pairs girls.And here I am thinking that Ashlyn Schmitz/Kieran Thrasher would be a good pairing. Ashlyn is also a very pretty skater who is likely through with puberty and needs a taller partner. She is 2 years younger than Kieran, so they age out of juniors at the same time. She has a triple jump, a 2A, and triple throw experience.
