Why Glenn Hall ranks #8 in Ice Hockey
Glenn Hall ranks 8th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 769th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 90.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 90, Peak 94, Longevity 88, Honours 90, Statistics 92. 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 1952–1971 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1955, which sets the Peak component at 94. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes stanley cups 1, vezina trophies 3, career shutouts 84, consecutive games streak 502.
Immediately ahead sits Alexander Ovechkin on 91.2, a gap of 0.5 points. Directly behind is Jacques Plante on 90.4. 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.
