Why Brett Hull ranks #37 in Ice Hockey
Brett Hull ranks 37th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 480th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 92, Longevity 86, Honours 82, 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 1986–2005 with 18 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1990, 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 nhl goals 741, hart trophies 1, stanley cups 2, nhl points 1391.
Immediately ahead sits Jari Kurri on 85.6, a gap of -0.7 points. Directly behind is Guy Lafleur on 86.6. 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.
