Why Sprague Cleghorn ranks #91 in Ice Hockey
Sprague Cleghorn ranks 91st among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 1901st of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 87.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 92, Longevity 82, Honours 90, 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 1918–1928 with 11 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1923, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes stanley cups 4, career goals 84, career points 123, games played 259.
Immediately ahead sits Yvan Cournoyer on 87.5, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Steve Yzerman on 87.4. 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.
