Why Charlie Gardiner ranks #112 in Ice Hockey
Charlie Gardiner ranks 112th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 1993rd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 90, Peak 96, Longevity 68, Honours 90, Statistics 92. 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 1927–1934 with 8 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1932, which sets the Peak component at 96. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 96 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes stanley cups 1, vezina trophies 2, career shutouts 42, goals-against average 2.
Immediately ahead sits Lionel Conacher on 87.1, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Frank Fredrickson on 87.0. 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.
