Why Lionel Conacher ranks #111 in Ice Hockey

Lionel Conacher ranks 111th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 1992nd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 92, Longevity 82, Honours 88, 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 1925–1937 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1932, 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 2, career points 173, all-star selections 2, games played 498.

Immediately ahead sits Michel Goulet on 87.1, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Charlie Gardiner on 87.1. 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.
