Why Hap Day ranks #219 in Ice Hockey
Hap Day ranks 219th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 2616th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 88, Longevity 82, Honours 86, Statistics 84. 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 1924–1938 with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1932, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes stanley cups as player 1, nhl games 581, nhl points 257, seasons as captain 10.
Immediately ahead sits Tom Johnson on 83.8, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Peter Šťastný on 83.6. 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.
