I am posting this even before the results of the 2015 Thornhill (Central Ontario) Summer Skate, since I am so taken by this new ice dancing pair.
I cannot believe a couple who has been together for this short a period has such chemistry and flow. I'm in love. Cmon Nicole and Asher, build on this and make that Canadian Worlds team.
