Why Joe Malone ranks #22 in Ice Hockey
Joe Malone ranks 22nd among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 1358th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 90.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 94, Peak 98, Longevity 76, Honours 88, Statistics 96. 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 1908–1924 with 17 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1917, which sets the Peak component at 98. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 98 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes goals in the 1917-18 season 44, goals in one game 7, stanley cups 2, nhl scoring titles 2.
Immediately ahead sits Mike Modano on 90.4, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Aurèle Joliat on 90.2. 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.
