Why Bill Barber ranks #141 in Ice Hockey
Bill Barber ranks 141st among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 2169th of 4013 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 82, Honours 88, 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 1972–1984 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1977, 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 stanley cups 2, career goals 420, career points 883, canada cup titles 1.
Immediately ahead sits Andy Bathgate on 86.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Tommy Phillips on 86.3. 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.
