Why Frank Patrick ranks #249 in Ice Hockey
Frank Patrick ranks 249th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 2772nd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 88, Longevity 76, Honours 86, Statistics 84. 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 1909–1918 with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1913, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes stanley cups 1, pcha titles 2, goals in a game by a defenceman 6, professional seasons 10.
Immediately ahead sits Buddy O'Connor on 82.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Börje Salming on 82.5. 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.
