Allison and Dominic competed for Canada in ice dance for twelve years. On their home soil they were champions from the time they debuted on the skating scene, but the international judges were more difficult to convince. Only at the very end of their amatuer career did they finally move beyond the bronze medal position that had for so long been theirs to become the first North American dancers to be crowned World Champions.
Following that success, the team announced their abrupt decision to dissolve their thirteen year partnership. Ally married the team's choreographer, Andrei Peretkov, and began coaching at the senior level. Meanwhile, Nick returned to Western Canada from their training center in the Connecticut, married his longtime girlfriend Maiya Helenskia, and chose to work more with beginners.
