Why Bobby Baun ranks #128 in Ice Hockey
Bobby Baun ranks 128th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 1696th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 88, Longevity 84, Honours 86, Statistics 76. 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 1956–1973 with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1962, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes stanley cups 4, nhl games played 964, career points 224, playoff games 96.
Immediately ahead sits Emma Eliasson on 81.1, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Petra Nieminen on 81.0. 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.
