Why Andy Bathgate ranks #61 in Ice Hockey
Andy Bathgate ranks 61st among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 1225th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 90, Longevity 88, Honours 82, 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 1952–1975 with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1959, which sets the Peak component at 90. Statistics is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 15% of the final score. The underlying career record includes hart trophies 1, career points 973, stanley cups 1, all-star selections 4.
Immediately ahead sits Adam Oates on 86.2, a gap of -0.1 points. Directly behind is Sven Tumba on 86.0. 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.
