Why Cam Neely ranks #96 in Ice Hockey
Cam Neely ranks 96th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 1494th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 94, Longevity 72, Honours 80, Statistics 90. Those categories are normalised against the full Ice Hockey reference universe of 399 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1983–1996 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1989, which sets the Peak component at 94. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes career goals 395, 50-goal seasons 3, all-star selections 4, masterton trophies 1.
Immediately ahead sits Georges Vézina on 83.7, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Peter Šťastný on 83.6. 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.
