Why Frank Boucher ranks #36 in Ice Hockey

Frank Boucher ranks 36th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 1475th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 89.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 92, Longevity 88, Honours 92, 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 1921–1944 with 24 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1929, 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 stanley cups 2, lady byng trophies 7, career points 423, assist titles 3.

Immediately ahead sits Bobby Orr on 89.7, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Charline Labonté on 89.6. 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.
