Why Henrik Zetterberg ranks #75 in Ice Hockey
Henrik Zetterberg ranks 75th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 693rd of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 86, Longevity 84, Honours 84, Statistics 82. 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 1999–2018 with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2006, which sets the Peak component at 86. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 86 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes stanley cups 1, conn smythe trophies 1, olympic golds 1, nhl points 960.
Immediately ahead sits Jonathan Toews on 83.1, a gap of 1.0 points. Directly behind is Victor Hedman on 82.6. 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.
