Why Geraldine Heaney ranks #30 in Ice Hockey

Geraldine Heaney ranks 30th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 1019th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 88.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 90, Longevity 86, Honours 92, Statistics 86. Those categories are normalised against the full Ice Hockey reference universe of 399 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.

The record covers 1988–2002 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1994, which sets the Peak component at 90. Honours is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic golds 1, world championship golds 7, olympic medals 2, canada caps 125.

Immediately ahead sits Newsy Lalonde on 87.9, a gap of -0.1 points. Directly behind is Larry Murphy on 87.8. 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.
