Why Alec Connell ranks #44 in Ice Hockey

Alec Connell ranks 44th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 1106th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 96, Longevity 78, Honours 86, Statistics 92. Those categories are normalised against the full Ice Hockey reference universe of 399 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.

The record covers 1924–1937 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1925, which sets the Peak component at 96. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 96 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes stanley cups 2, career shutouts 81, consecutive shutouts record 6, career goals-against average 1.91.

Immediately ahead sits Jenny Potter on 87.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Clare Drake on 87.3. 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.
