Why Clare Drake ranks #45 in Ice Hockey
Clare Drake ranks 45th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 1110th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 90, Longevity 94, Honours 84, Statistics 88. 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 1958–1989 with 28 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1975, which sets the Peak component at 90. Longevity 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 university national titles 6, university coaching wins 697, conference titles 17, olympic teams coached 1.
Immediately ahead sits Alec Connell on 87.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Joe Sakic 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.
