Why Ace Bailey ranks #230 in Ice Hockey

Ace Bailey ranks 230th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 2672nd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 92, Longevity 72, Honours 84, Statistics 88. Those categories are normalised against the full Ice Hockey reference universe of 313 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.

The record covers 1926–1933 with 8 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1929, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes stanley cups 1, scoring titles 1, career goals 111, career points 193.

Immediately ahead sits Noora Räty on 83.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Jimmy Gardner on 83.3. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
