Why Kevin Lowe ranks #252 in Ice Hockey
Kevin Lowe ranks 252nd among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 2783rd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 74, Peak 84, Longevity 86, Honours 90, Statistics 80. 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 1979–1998 with 20 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1986, which sets the Peak component at 84. Honours is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes stanley cups 6, nhl games 1254, career points 431, playoff games 214.
Immediately ahead sits Leon Draisaitl on 82.5, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Dick Irvin on 82.5. 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.
