Why Scott Stevens ranks #40 in Ice Hockey

Scott Stevens ranks 40th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 498th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 88, Longevity 90, Honours 84, Statistics 84. Those categories are normalised against the full Ice Hockey reference universe of 395 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.

The record covers 1982–2004 with 20 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1987, which sets the Peak component at 88. Longevity 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 3, conn smythe trophies 1, nhl games played 1635, career points 908.

Immediately ahead sits Marie-Philip Poulin on 87.3, a gap of 2.3 points. Directly behind is Joe Thornton on 84.1. 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.
