Why Arthur Farrell ranks #280 in Ice Hockey
Arthur Farrell ranks 280th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 2928th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 90, Longevity 66, Honours 86, Statistics 84. 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 1897–1901 with 5 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1899, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes stanley cups 2, career goals 29, games played 26, seasons played 5.
Immediately ahead sits Petra Nieminen on 81.0, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Miikka Kiprusoff on 80.9. 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.
