Breakaway:The Inside Story of the Pittsburgh Penguins' Rebirth

Breakaway transcends Americans' passions for sports and casino gambling as it follows two professional hockey team owners and the most-storied trophy in all of sports.

No one can lift hockey's Stanley Cup on his own. Winning a championship takes talented athletes, committed owners, creative executives, and enthusiastic fans. For the Pittsburgh Penguins, it also meant breaking away from tradition.

With team owners desperate to replace the league's oldest rink and leakiest arena, the Penguins win the rights to draft the hottest player in a generation. A Pittsburgh legend returns to the team on - and off - the ice to lead them into the future. But how to turn around the fortunes of this troubled franchise?

Breakaway tells the story of how the Penguins went from bankruptcy and last place to a profitable new arena and a championship by taking chances others never considered - and risking everything to win it all.
