Why Herb Carnegie ranks #273 in Ice Hockey
Herb Carnegie ranks 273rd among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 2906th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 88, Longevity 76, Honours 82, 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 1944–1954 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1949, 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 league mvp awards 3, provincial league titles 2, professional seasons 11, hall of fame inductions 1.
Immediately ahead sits Lynn Patrick on 81.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Red Horner on 81.2. 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.
