Why Cale Makar ranks #89 in Ice Hockey
Cale Makar ranks 89th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 1027th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 70.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 84, Longevity 50, Honours 68, Statistics 78. 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 2019–present with 7 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2024, which sets the Peak component at 84. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 84 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes stanley cups 1, norris trophies 2, conn smythe trophies 1, career points 450.
Immediately ahead sits Manon Rhéaume on 76.3, a gap of 5.7 points. 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.
