Why Georges Vézina ranks #73 in Ice Hockey

Georges Vézina ranks 73rd among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 686th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 88, Longevity 80, Honours 84, Statistics 82. Those categories are normalised against the full Ice Hockey reference universe of 395 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.

The record covers 1910–1925 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1916, 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 2, consecutive games played 328, league-best goals-against titles 3, nhl shutouts 13.

Immediately ahead sits Steve Shutt on 83.6, a gap of -0.1 points. Directly behind is Jonathan Toews on 83.1. 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.
