Why Sarah Nurse ranks #93 in Ice Hockey
Sarah Nurse ranks 93rd among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 1473rd of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 94, Longevity 72, Honours 84, Statistics 90. 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 2013–present with 9 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2024, 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 olympic golds 1, olympic record points in a games 18, world championship golds 2, olympic medals 2.
Immediately ahead sits Kent Nilsson on 84.0, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Harry Cameron on 84.0. 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.
