Why George Hay ranks #209 in Ice Hockey
George Hay ranks 209th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 2557th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 90, Longevity 82, Honours 80, 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 1921–1934 with 14 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1927, 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 career goals 173, career points 305, seasons played 13, games played 380.
Immediately ahead sits Harry Hyland on 84.1, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Tommy Dunderdale on 84.1. 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.
