Why Max Bentley ranks #240 in Ice Hockey
Max Bentley ranks 240th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 2724th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 82.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 92, Longevity 74, Honours 84, Statistics 86. 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 1940–1954 with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1945, 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 3, hart trophies 1, scoring titles 2, lady byng trophies 1.
Immediately ahead sits Daniel Sedin on 83.0, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Al Arbour on 82.9. 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.
