Why Bobby Hull ranks #16 in Ice Hockey
Bobby Hull ranks 16th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 300th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 89.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 88, Peak 92, Longevity 88, Honours 86, Statistics 92. Those categories are normalised against the full Ice Hockey reference universe of 395 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1957–1980 with 19 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1968, 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 hart trophies 2, art ross trophies 3, stanley cups 1, nhl goals 610.
Immediately ahead sits Hayley Wickenheiser on 88.8, a gap of -0.2 points. Directly behind is Henri Richard on 87.3. 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.
