Why Bryan Hextall ranks #148 in Ice Hockey
Bryan Hextall ranks 148th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 2202nd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 92, Longevity 80, Honours 86, 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 1936–1948 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1941, 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 stanley cups 1, scoring titles 1, goal-scoring titles 2, career goals 187.
Immediately ahead sits Moose Johnson on 86.3, a gap of 0.2 points. Directly behind is Harry Lumley on 86.1. 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.
