Why Marja-Leena Ihatsu ranks #142 in Ice Hockey
Marja-Leena Ihatsu ranks 142nd among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 1790th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 78.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 70, Peak 84, Longevity 80, Honours 80, Statistics 84. 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 1988–2000 with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1993, which sets the Peak component at 84. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 84 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic medals 1, world championship medals 5, european titles 3, finnish league titles 5.
Immediately ahead sits Fanny Rask on 79.0, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Erika Grahm on 78.2. 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.
