Why Gerry Cheevers ranks #101 in Ice Hockey
Gerry Cheevers ranks 101st among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 1939th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 92, Longevity 84, Honours 88, Statistics 90. 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 1961–1980 with 20 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1971, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak 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 stanley cups 2, unbeaten streak in games 32, career wins 230, wha avco cups 1.
Immediately ahead sits Frank Mahovlich on 87.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Reg Noble on 87.3. 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.
