Why Hobey Baker ranks #271 in Ice Hockey
Hobey Baker ranks 271st among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 2904th 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 84, Peak 92, Longevity 68, Honours 80, Statistics 82. 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 1910–1917 with 8 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1914, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak 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 intercollegiate titles 2, amateur league titles 1, seasons played 8, named awards 1.
Immediately ahead sits Mike Grant on 81.4, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Lynn Patrick on 81.3. 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.
