Why Patrick Roy ranks #25 in Ice Hockey
Patrick Roy ranks 25th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 367th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 90, Longevity 88, Honours 88, 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 1984–2003 with 19 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2001, 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, conn smythe trophies 3, vezina trophies 3, career wins 551.
Immediately ahead sits Mark Recchi on 85.7, a gap of -1.9 points. Directly behind is Joe Sakic on 87.0. 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.
