Why Red Dutton ranks #283 in Ice Hockey

Red Dutton ranks 283rd among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 2969th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 80.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 86, Longevity 78, Honours 82, Statistics 82. 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 1926–1936 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1931, which sets the Peak component at 86. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 86 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes nhl games 449, nhl points 136, penalty minutes 871, professional seasons 11.

Immediately ahead sits George McNamara on 80.5, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Daniel Alfredsson on 80.3. 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.
