When Rocky Wirtz took over the Wirtz Corporation in 2007, including management of the Chicago Blackhawks, the fiercely beloved hockey team had fallen to a humiliating nadir. Rocky's resurrection of the team's fortunes was - publicly, at least - a feel-good tale of shrewd acumen. Behind the scenes, however, it would trigger a drama of Shakespearean proportions. The Breakaway reveals that untold story.

Autorenporträt
BRYAN SMITH is a senior writer at Chicago magazine and a contributing editor for Men's Health. He is a two-time winner and six-time finalist for the National City and Regional Magazine Association's Writer of the Year award. His work has been featured in The Best American Sports Writing, The Best American Newspaper Writing, and the Chicken Soup for the Soul series. TONY ESPOSITO joined the Blackhawks as a rookie goalie in 1969 and recorded fifteen shutouts, a single-season record unlikely to be broken. He was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1988; in the same year, his number 35 was retired by the Blackhawks. For the National Hockey League's centennial celebration in 2017, Esposito was voted one of the hundred greatest players ever.
