Why Guy Lapointe ranks #57 in Ice Hockey
Guy Lapointe ranks 57th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 1668th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 88.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 92, Longevity 84, Honours 94, 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 1968–1984 with 17 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1975, which sets the Peak component at 92. Honours 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 6, career points 622, first-team all-star selections 1, games played 884.
Immediately ahead sits Punch Broadbent on 88.6, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Marián Hossa on 88.4. 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.
