Why Sylvio Mantha ranks #158 in Ice Hockey

Sylvio Mantha ranks 158th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 2276th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 85.7 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 88, Longevity 86, Honours 90, Statistics 86. 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 1923–1937 with 15 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1930, which sets the Peak component at 88. Honours 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, career points 227, games played 543, seasons played 14.

Immediately ahead sits Mark Recchi on 85.7, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Jari Kurri on 85.6. 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.
