Why Frank McGee ranks #133 in Ice Hockey
Frank McGee ranks 133rd among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 2134th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 94, Peak 98, Longevity 58, Honours 88, Statistics 94. 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 1903–1906 with 4 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1904, which sets the Peak component at 98. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 98 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes stanley cups 4, goals in one game 14, career goals 135, games played 45.
Immediately ahead sits Ken Dryden on 86.4, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Eddie Giacomin on 86.4. 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.
