Why Bobby Clarke ranks #14 in Ice Hockey
Bobby Clarke ranks 14th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 1252nd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 91.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 90, Peak 95, Longevity 86, Honours 94, Statistics 90. 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 1969–1984 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1975, which sets the Peak component at 95. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 95 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes hart trophy 3, stanley cups 2, nhl points 1210, selke trophy 1.
Immediately ahead sits Clint Benedict on 91.1, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Glenn Hall on 90.7. 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.
