Why Peter Forsberg ranks #79 in Ice Hockey
Peter Forsberg ranks 79th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 739th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 90, Longevity 76, Honours 84, Statistics 84. Those categories are normalised against the full Ice Hockey reference universe of 395 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1990–2011 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1995, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes stanley cups 2, hart trophies 1, art ross trophies 1, olympic golds 2.
Immediately ahead sits Maria Rooth on 82.4, a gap of -0.7 points. Directly behind is Angela Ruggiero on 81.6. 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.
