Why Bobby Bauer ranks #200 in Ice Hockey
Bobby Bauer ranks 200th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 2489th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 90, Longevity 78, Honours 88, Statistics 86. 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 1936–1952 with 17 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1940, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes stanley cups 2, lady byng trophy 3, nhl goals 123, nhl points 260.
Immediately ahead sits Billy Gilmour on 84.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Hughie Lehman on 84.6. 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.
