Why Mark Howe ranks #59 in Ice Hockey
Mark Howe ranks 59th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 1698th of 4013 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 92, Longevity 92, Honours 84, Statistics 92. 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 1973–1995 with 23 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1985, 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 career nhl points 742, wha avco cups 2, first-team all-star selections 3, olympic silver medals 1.
Immediately ahead sits Marián Hossa on 88.4, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Syd Howe on 88.4. 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.
