Why Steve Shutt ranks #72 in Ice Hockey
Steve Shutt ranks 72nd among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 685th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.6 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 90, Longevity 78, Honours 88, Statistics 86. 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 1972–1985 with 13 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1976, which sets the Peak component at 90. Peak 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 5, career goals 424, best season goals 60, career points 817.
Immediately ahead sits Mike Bossy on 85.3, a gap of 1.7 points. Directly behind is Georges Vézina on 83.7. 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.
