Why Clark Gillies ranks #264 in Ice Hockey
Clark Gillies ranks 264th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 2833rd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 86, Longevity 78, Honours 90, Statistics 82. 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 1974–1988 with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1979, which sets the Peak component at 86. Honours 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 4, career goals 319, career points 697, playoff points 94.
Immediately ahead sits Dino Ciccarelli on 82.1, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Dan Bain on 82.0. 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.
