Why Red Horner ranks #274 in Ice Hockey
Red Horner ranks 274th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 2907th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.2 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 76, Peak 86, Longevity 80, Honours 82, 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 1928–1940 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1934, 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 stanley cups 1, penalty-minute titles 8, nhl games 490, nhl points 152.
Immediately ahead sits Herb Carnegie on 81.3, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Auston Matthews on 81.1. 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.
