Why Petra Nieminen ranks #129 in Ice Hockey
Petra Nieminen ranks 129th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 1697th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 90, Longevity 76, Honours 78, Statistics 88. Those categories are normalised against the full Ice Hockey reference universe of 399 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 2014–present with 10 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2020, 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 olympic medals 2, world championship medals 5, finland caps 150, olympic appearances 2.
Immediately ahead sits Bobby Baun on 81.0, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Miikka Kiprusoff on 80.9. 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.
