The separation at first seemingly temporary due to an injury became permanent. Just days before Skate Canada International, Bryce Davison injured his knee during a practice. He underwent surgery because of a three-centimeter fragment of bone that had broken off. While her partner was at rest, Jessica Dube skated singles. Five months after the surgery, when Bryce just got the doctors’ approval to get back on the ice but only for short stretches of five to ten minutes, Jessica announced her decision. Jessica said having found some kind of spark again and she did not want to loose that. It came as a surprise to Davidson but he says he respects her decision entirely. He is now looking for another world-class partner, which is hard to find. To not say the least, their career had a roller-coaster pattern. Recall the event at the ISU Four Continents championships in 2007. The two partners were doing a side-by-side camel spins when they got desynchronized and Bryce's blade sliced open Jessica’s face. The gash across Dube’s cheek and nose required more than 80 stitches to close. The two were later treated for post-traumatic stress disorder.
