Why Eddie Gerard ranks #176 in Ice Hockey

Eddie Gerard ranks 176th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 2383rd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 90, Longevity 76, Honours 92, Statistics 84. 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 1913–1923 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1918, which sets the Peak component at 90. 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 4, nhl points 88, professional seasons 11, seasons as captain 5.

Immediately ahead sits Michelle Karvinen on 85.2, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Ted Kennedy on 85.1. 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.
