Why Ching Johnson ranks #152 in Ice Hockey
Ching Johnson ranks 152nd among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 2236th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 90, Longevity 82, Honours 88, Statistics 86. 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 1926–1938 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1932, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes stanley cups 2, all-star selections 4, games played 463, penalty minutes 808.
Immediately ahead sits Denis Potvin on 85.9, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Marcel Dionne on 85.8. 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.
