Why Dit Clapper ranks #24 in Ice Hockey
Dit Clapper ranks 24th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 1379th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 90.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 90, Longevity 96, Honours 90, Statistics 90. 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 1927–1947 with 21 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1935, which sets the Peak component at 90. Longevity is the defining strength of the profile at 96 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes stanley cups 3, seasons played 20, career points 474, all-star selections 6.
Immediately ahead sits Aurèle Joliat on 90.2, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Sidney Crosby on 90.0. 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.
