Why Jimmy Gardner ranks #231 in Ice Hockey
Jimmy Gardner ranks 231st among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 2673rd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 86, Longevity 84, Honours 86, 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 1900–1915 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1906, 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 2, career goals 69, seasons played 14, games played 106.
Immediately ahead sits Ace Bailey on 83.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Bouse Hutton on 83.2. 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.
