Why Al MacInnis ranks #88 in Ice Hockey

Al MacInnis ranks 88th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 1880th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 92, Longevity 90, Honours 86, Statistics 90. 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 1981–2004 with 24 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1989, 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, norris trophies 1, conn smythe trophies 1, career points 1274.

Immediately ahead sits Toe Blake on 87.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Stan Mikita on 87.5. 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.
