Stronger together, Canada's Desrochers and Thrasher eye continued progress

Jazmine Desrochers and Kieran Thrasher In the world of junior pair skating, few stories have unfolded as rapidly—and as promisingly—as that of Jazmine

What started as an unexpected partnership in May 2023 has turned into one of Canada’s most exciting junior pair stories. With a hockey-to-ice-dance twist, last-minute career pivots, and big Led Zeppelin energy on the ice, this duo is proving that trust, fun, and a few risks can take you far—and fast.

Now heading into the 2025–26 season with fresh choreography, new goals, and even more confidence, Jaz and Kieran are ready to level up. And maybe throw in some hip-hop too.

Next stop: NextGen and Quebec Summer Champs!

Go Jazzy and Kiki !!!

Planning to go to CQÉ in Pierrefonds, where I saw them the first time a few years ago.

I'm glad they are planning to do a split junior/senior season. Maybe it's a long shot, but would love to see them qualify for 4CC.

(As an aside, spouse and I recently made our first trip to Quebec, and loved it. I'm sure I would have no trouble convincing spouse to join me for a summer skating competition in Quebec.)

Another of the series...meaning, up and coming juniors with a story. I like it that they both feel their former partners were a good thing, people to learn from and to get enthusiastic again for the sport.

JGP Riga-bound!

JGP Riga-bound!

I expected Ava and Yoni to get that spot as they are much readier... but I figure that the decision was made before the Next Gen competition... Their programs are superb anyway... Let's hope they land their jumps and throws as they have said they can do them in practice. Go Jazzy and Kiki !

Looking at the entries, Ava and Yoni are also listed... so I guess it makes a bit more sense to me now
