Why George McNamara ranks #282 in Ice Hockey
George McNamara ranks 282nd among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 2966th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 80.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 86, Longevity 76, Honours 84, Statistics 82. 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 1907–1917 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1913, which sets the Peak component at 86. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 86 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes stanley cups 1, seasons played 10, games played 132, career goals 55.
Immediately ahead sits Miikka Kiprusoff on 80.9, a gap of 0.4 points. Directly behind is Red Dutton on 80.5. 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.
