Why Craig Patrick ranks #309 in Ice Hockey
Craig Patrick ranks 309th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 3278th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 76.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 70, Peak 82, Longevity 74, Honours 78, Statistics 80. 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 1971–1979 with 9 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1975, which sets the Peak component at 82. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 82 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes nhl games 401, nhl points 163, nhl goals 72, professional seasons 9.
Immediately ahead sits Willie O'Ree on 76.2, a gap of -0.1 points. Directly behind is Scotty Davidson on 71.9. 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.
