Why Moose Johnson ranks #147 in Ice Hockey

Moose Johnson ranks 147th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 2184th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.3 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 90, Longevity 86, Honours 90, Statistics 84. 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 1905–1922 with 18 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1912, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 90 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes stanley cups 4, professional seasons 18, league titles 6, career games 400.

Immediately ahead sits Frank Foyston on 86.2, a gap of -0.1 points. Directly behind is Bryan Hextall on 86.1. 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.
