Why Mats Sundin ranks #59 in Ice Hockey
Mats Sundin ranks 59th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 627th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 84, Longevity 88, Honours 80, Statistics 86. Those categories are normalised against the full Ice Hockey reference universe of 395 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1989–2009 with 18 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1992, which sets the Peak component at 84. Longevity is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes nhl points 1349, nhl goals 564, olympic golds 1, world championship golds 1.
Immediately ahead sits Daniel Sedin on 83.0, a gap of 0.2 points. Directly behind is Börje Salming on 82.5. 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.
