Why Teemu Selänne ranks #23 in Ice Hockey
Teemu Selänne ranks 23rd among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 356th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 86.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 82, Peak 90, Longevity 92, Honours 82, Statistics 90. 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 1988–2014 with 20 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1992, which sets the Peak component at 90. Longevity 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 nhl goals 684, nhl points 1457, stanley cups 1, calder trophy 1.
Immediately ahead sits Stan Mikita on 87.5, a gap of 0.7 points. Directly behind is Mark Recchi on 85.7. 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.
