Why Henrik Lundqvist ranks #53 in Ice Hockey
Henrik Lundqvist ranks 53rd among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 550th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 88, Longevity 88, Honours 82, Statistics 86. Those categories are normalised against the full Ice Hockey reference universe of 395 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 2000–2020 with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2011, 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 career wins 459, vezina trophies 1, olympic golds 1, shutouts 64.
Immediately ahead sits Kim St-Pierre on 86.8, a gap of 2.3 points. Directly behind is Nikita Kucherov on 86.9. 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.
