Why Bun Cook ranks #214 in Ice Hockey

Bun Cook ranks 214th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 2580th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 88, Longevity 80, Honours 86, Statistics 88. 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 1926–1937 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1932, 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 2, career goals 158, career points 302, games played 473.

Immediately ahead sits Harry Cameron on 84.0, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Graham Drinkwater on 84.0. 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.
