Why Bernie Geoffrion ranks #18 in Ice Hockey
Bernie Geoffrion ranks 18th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 1319th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 90.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 88, Peak 94, Longevity 86, Honours 94, Statistics 92. 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 1950–1968 with 19 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1960, which sets the Peak component at 94. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes stanley cups 6, hart trophies 1, scoring titles 2, career goals 393.
Immediately ahead sits Ron Francis on 90.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Jacques Plante on 90.4. 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.
