Why Glenn Anderson ranks #191 in Ice Hockey
Glenn Anderson ranks 191st among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 2452nd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 88, Longevity 82, Honours 92, Statistics 86. 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 1980–1996 with 17 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1986, which sets the Peak component at 88. 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 stanley cups 6, career goals 498, playoff goals 93, career points 1099.
Immediately ahead sits Duke Keats on 84.9, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Riley Hern on 84.8. 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.
