Why Clint Benedict ranks #13 in Ice Hockey
Clint Benedict ranks 13th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 1235th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 91.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 90, Peak 94, Longevity 88, Honours 92, 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 1912–1930 with 19 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1921, 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 stanley cups 4, career shutouts 58, shutout titles 7, games played 362.
Immediately ahead sits Howie Morenz on 91.3, a gap of 0.2 points. Directly behind is Bobby Clarke on 91.0. 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.
