Why Gordie Drillon ranks #135 in Ice Hockey
Gordie Drillon ranks 135th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 1742nd of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 80.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 92, Longevity 62, Honours 80, Statistics 88. 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 1936–1943 with 6 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1941, 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 scoring titles 1, stanley cups 1, lady byng trophies 1, career points 261.
Immediately ahead sits Sara Grahn on 80.1, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Erik Karlsson on 79.7. 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.
