Why Gilbert Perreault ranks #194 in Ice Hockey

Gilbert Perreault ranks 194th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 2467th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 90, Longevity 86, Honours 80, 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 1970–1987 with 18 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1976, 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 points 1326, career goals 512, calder trophies 1, lady byng trophies 1.

Immediately ahead sits Aurel Joliat on 84.7, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Henrik Lundqvist on 84.5. 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.
