Why Herbie Lewis ranks #204 in Ice Hockey
Herbie Lewis ranks 204th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 2509th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 88, Longevity 82, Honours 86, Statistics 88. 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 1928–1939 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1935, 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 2, career goals 148, career points 309, games played 483.
Immediately ahead sits Roberto Luongo on 84.4, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Milt Schmidt on 84.3. 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.
