Why Billy McGimsie ranks #152 in Ice Hockey
Billy McGimsie ranks 152nd among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 2035th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 71.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 70, Peak 86, Longevity 52, Honours 74, Statistics 80. 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 1902–1907 with 5 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1906, which sets the Peak component at 86. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 86 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes stanley cups 1, seasons played 6, career goals 40, stanley cup challenges 3.
Immediately ahead sits Scotty Davidson on 71.9, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Cale Makar on 70.6. 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.
