Why Punch Broadbent ranks #56 in Ice Hockey

Punch Broadbent ranks 56th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 1646th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 88.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 94, Longevity 84, Honours 90, Statistics 90. 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 1912–1929 with 18 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1920, which sets the Peak component at 94. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes stanley cups 4, consecutive games with a goal 16, goal-scoring titles 1, career goals 122.

Immediately ahead sits Russell Bowie on 88.6, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Guy Lapointe on 88.5. 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.
