Why Leo Boivin ranks #198 in Ice Hockey

Leo Boivin ranks 198th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 2486th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 86, Longevity 92, Honours 80, Statistics 90. 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 1951–1970 with 20 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1961, which sets the Peak component at 86. Longevity 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 games played 1150, career points 322, all-star game appearances 3, seasons played 19.

Immediately ahead sits Dick Duff on 84.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Billy Gilmour on 84.6. 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.
