Why Scott Niedermayer ranks #38 in Ice Hockey
Scott Niedermayer ranks 38th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 1487th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 89.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 92, Longevity 88, Honours 94, Statistics 88. 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 1991–2010 with 20 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2003, which sets the Peak component at 92. Honours 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, norris trophies 1, conn smythe trophies 1, olympic gold medals 2.
Immediately ahead sits Charline Labonté on 89.6, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Ed Belfour on 89.6. 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.
