Why Frank Foyston ranks #146 in Ice Hockey

Frank Foyston ranks 146th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 2183rd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 90, Longevity 84, Honours 90, Statistics 86. 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 1912–1928 with 17 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1918, 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 3, professional goals 242, professional seasons 16, pcha scoring titles 1.

Immediately ahead sits Bill Mosienko on 86.3, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Moose Johnson on 86.3. 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.
