Why Scotty Davidson ranks #151 in Ice Hockey

Scotty Davidson ranks 151st among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 2034th of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 71.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 88, Longevity 46, Honours 74, Statistics 82. 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 1912–1914 with 2 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1914, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes stanley cups 1, nha goals 42, seasons played 2, games played 44.

Immediately ahead sits Willie O'Ree on 76.2, a gap of 4.3 points. Directly behind is Billy McGimsie on 71.9. 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.
