Why Jenny Potter ranks #43 in Ice Hockey

Jenny Potter ranks 43rd among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 1105th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 92, Longevity 84, Honours 88, Statistics 90. Those categories are normalised against the full Ice Hockey reference universe of 399 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.

The record covers 1997–2011 with 12 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2002, 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 olympic golds 1, olympic medals 4, world championship golds 4, usa caps 200.

Immediately ahead sits Henri Richard on 87.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Alec Connell on 87.3. 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.
