Why Bert Olmstead ranks #72 in Ice Hockey
Bert Olmstead ranks 72nd among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 1796th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 88.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 90, Longevity 86, Honours 94, 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 1948–1962 with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1956, which sets the Peak component at 90. Honours 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 5, assist titles 2, career points 602, assists 421.
Immediately ahead sits Jarome Iginla on 88.0, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Rod Langway on 87.9. 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.
