Why Marián Hossa ranks #26 in Ice Hockey
Marián Hossa ranks 26th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 977th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 88.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 90, Longevity 90, Honours 88, Statistics 92. Those categories are normalised against the full Ice Hockey reference universe of 399 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1997–2017 with 20 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2006, which sets the Peak component at 90. Statistics is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 15% of the final score. The underlying career record includes stanley cups 3, career points 1134, career goals 525, all-star selections 5.
Immediately ahead sits Cammi Granato on 88.7, a gap of 0.3 points. Directly behind is Frank Calder on 88.3. 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.
