Why Frank Brimsek ranks #104 in Ice Hockey
Frank Brimsek ranks 104th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 1946th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 93, Longevity 80, Honours 90, Statistics 88. 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 1938–1950 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1940, which sets the Peak component at 93. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 93 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes vezina trophy 2, stanley cups 2, calder trophy 1, nhl shutouts 40.
Immediately ahead sits Doug Gilmour on 87.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Busher Jackson on 87.2. 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.
