Why Dick Duff ranks #86 in Ice Hockey
Dick Duff ranks 86th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 1419th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 86, Longevity 86, Honours 92, Statistics 82. 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 1954–1972 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1959, which sets the Peak component at 86. Honours is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes stanley cups 6, career points 572, playoff goals 30, nhl games played 1030.
Immediately ahead sits Serge Savard on 84.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Kim Martin on 84.4. 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.
