Why Al Arbour ranks #241 in Ice Hockey
Al Arbour ranks 241st among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 2727th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 86, Longevity 86, Honours 86, Statistics 82. 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 1953–1971 with 19 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1962, which sets the Peak component at 86. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 86 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes stanley cups as player 4, nhl games 626, nhl points 70, professional seasons 19.
Immediately ahead sits Max Bentley on 82.9, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Moose Goheen on 83.0. 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.
