Desrochers/Thrasher interview with Goldenskate's Paula Slater: Stronger together, Canada’s Desrochers and Thrasher eye continued progress

For the upcoming season, the duo will continue with their free skate to “Since I’ve Been Loving You” by Led Zeppelin—choreographed by Julie Marcotte, who also selected the piece.

Their short program will be to an upbeat remix of The Black Eyed Peas’ “Meet Me Halfway” and “Boom Boom Pow”, also choreographed by Marcotte. Both skaters admitted that it’s a bit outside their comfort zone but welcome the challenge.

While the skaters will be competing as juniors again, they hope to be invited to an international or Challenger event. However, they plan to compete as seniors at the 2026 Canadian National Figure Skating Championships. However, they are not setting any personal expectations for the latter event.

OK, who asked the monkey's paw for Julie to buy a new CD?

Are we sure it's a new CD or one she found while cleaning out some boxes in the garage?
