Why King Clancy ranks #65 in Ice Hockey
King Clancy ranks 65th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 1721st of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 88.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 92, Longevity 86, Honours 90, Statistics 88. 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 1921–1937 with 17 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1929, 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 stanley cups 3, all-star selections 4, career points 273, games played 592.
Immediately ahead sits Frank Calder on 88.3, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Dickie Moore on 88.2. 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.
