Why Harry Howell ranks #267 in Ice Hockey
Harry Howell ranks 267th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 2842nd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 86, Longevity 92, Honours 76, 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 1952–1976 with 25 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1966, which sets the Peak component at 86. Longevity 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 norris trophies 1, nhl games 1411, career points 439, all-star games 7.
Immediately ahead sits Joe Hall on 81.9, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Miroslav Šatan on 81.8. 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.
