Why Bob Johnson ranks #33 in Ice Hockey

Bob Johnson ranks 33rd among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 1055th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 92, Longevity 88, Honours 86, Statistics 90. 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 1963–1991 with 7 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1986, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes stanley cups 1, ncaa championships 3, nhl coaching wins 234, world championship medals as coach 1.

Immediately ahead sits Maurice Richard on 87.7, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Patrick Roy on 87.6. 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.
