Why Neil Colville ranks #228 in Ice Hockey
Neil Colville ranks 228th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 2659th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.4 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 88, Longevity 80, Honours 86, 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 1935–1949 with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1940, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak 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 stanley cups 1, nhl points 265, all-star selections 3, nhl games 464.
Immediately ahead sits Joe Mullen on 83.4, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Noora Räty on 83.3. 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.
