Why Doug Bentley ranks #124 in Ice Hockey
Doug Bentley ranks 124th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 2041st of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 92, Longevity 84, Honours 84, 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 1939–1954 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1943, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak 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 scoring titles 1, career goals 219, career points 543, all-star selections 3.
Immediately ahead sits Roy Conacher on 86.8, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Bob Gainey on 86.7. 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.
