Why Riley Hern ranks #192 in Ice Hockey
Riley Hern ranks 192nd among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 2453rd of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 84, Peak 90, Longevity 76, Honours 90, 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 1901–1911 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1906, 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, seasons played 10, games played 71, cup-winning teams 1.
Immediately ahead sits Glenn Anderson on 84.8, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Aurel Joliat on 84.7. 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.
