An Ice Hockey Wiki article.

A breakaway is a situation in ice hockey in which a player with the puck has no defending players, except for the goaltender, between himself and the opposing goal, leaving him free to skate in and shoot at will (assuming he can skate faster than the defenders trying to catch him). A breakaway is considered a serious defensive lapse on the part of the other team. If a player's progress is impeded by a player coming back into their defensive zone, or if the goalie throws his stick at the oncoming player, he is awarded a penalty shot.

Options

The player in this situation has many options of what to do. He may skate up and pull a deke off. A deke is where the player moves the puck very fast and can fake going one way with the puck and go the other. He may do this trying to catch the goalie off guard or get him out of position to score more easily. He may also just shoot the puck if he wishes.

The goaltender in this situation has options as well. He may "poke check" the player. The poke check is when the goalie takes his stick and tries to take away the puck from the player or make him lose control of it. He also may save it with his body by challenging the player which may result in the puck being shot right into him.

Theories for the Breakaway

• One theory about the best way for the goalie to react to a breakaway is called the "Y" theory. In this theory the goalie comes out to somewhere between halfway between the faceoff circle hashes and the crease or up to the hashes. From there he lines up to the puck. He skates backwards following the puck and based on the players actions he can drop and take the shot. If the player goes diagonally with the puck, the goalie splits off from going straight back and then goes diagonal either way. The "Y" comes from the going straight back and then the diagonal movement. That forms a "Y" representing how a goalie can potentially play that breakaway.

• Another theory to react well is where the goalie sees the blade of the stick. If it is more towards one side or the other, the goalie can usually anticipate where the shot is going to hit.

• Yet another way is that if the shot is going to be high (can be determined if the stick blade is upright on the ice 90 degrees), the goalie can move up to cut off the angle on the player, and go down right before the shot is taken. This way, there is more of a chance that the puck will not go over the goalie into the net.

• A goalie can go up to the player, dive down sideways, and collide with the player, forcing him to chip the puck over him/her, or deke. Though this strategy for goalies can be risky, it can usually work, considering that usually the player's head is down looking at the puck, so the goalie can surprise the player. (See at 1:25)

Let's see what you can see... This article is in need of images. Specifics: Toy

Breakaway is an Autobot from the Classics portion of the Generation One continuity family.

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly/ I'll do what it takes 'til I touch the sky

Breakaway is the guardian of a very important ball of rarefied Energon, displaced to Earth billions of years ago by Primus. His personal CR chamber is malfunctioning, so he doesn't remember much about his past other than his mission and the period of time long ago he spent slumbering while guarding a pool of Super Energon. (In other words, he's probably originally from the Unicron Trilogy universe.) To assist Breakaway as a knowledge database, Vector Sigma created the Caretaker supercomputer.

Like his long-lost companions Skyfall and Landquake, he too has powerful energy manipulation abilities. Using Energon, he can restore even the most fatal of wounds.

I want to tell you about the Transformers! This character article is a stub and is missing information on their fictional appearances. You can help Teletraan I: The Transformers Wiki by expanding it.

With Breakaway is the Caretaker created by Vector Sigma.The Caretaker tells Breakaway, Landquake, Skyfall, and Cliffjumper to go through a portal. Cliffjumper is cast aside to the shattered glass universe while the other three are thrown to the Transtech universe and meet Transtech Silverbolt and Transtech Cheetor. The three travellers are processed and go down the streets of Axiom. Breakaway then gets stolen by Transtech Shockwave. Skyfall and Landquake then meet Alpha Trion and Topspin. They plan a rescue mission and get back Breakaway. But after Landquake, Topsin, and Breakaway go through a dimension portal that leads to Shattered Glass, Alpha Trion stabs Skyfall through the chest and drags him through the portal. Alpha Trion explains to a perplexed Topspin, Breakaway, and Landquake that he was shot in the back going through the portal. Breakaway looks deeper and finds a sword wound, not a gun shot wound. Alpha Trion tells his followers to hold the three together, but they manage to escape.

• Breakaway (Basic, 2007)
  • Accessories: 2 "energon" blasters, brace, Autobot energon chip

Breakaway is a redeco of Energon Treadshot/Windrazor, transforming into a fighter jet kinda sorta like an F-22 Raptor. He can also form a leg or arm to any Energon-series "Powerlinx Combiner" super robot. He comes with two double-barreled guns and a connector piece, which can form hand-held weapons as well as become a footplate or "hand" for his combined mode, plus an Autobot-style energon chip.

He was the 2007 "early bird freebie" toy exclusive to the Official Transformers Collectors' Club, sent to members who signed up before the deadline (and also at BotCon 2007, apparently). Like his fellow freebies, he is also available for sale on the Club store for those who didn't make the deadline, or future members.
