Why Tim Horton ranks #188 in Ice Hockey
Tim Horton ranks 188th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 2429th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 84.9 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 88, Longevity 92, Honours 84, Statistics 84. 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 1949–1974 with 26 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1962, which sets the Peak component at 88. 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 stanley cups 4, first-team all-star selections 3, nhl games 1446, career points 518.
Immediately ahead sits Håkan Loob on 84.9, a gap of 0.0 points. Directly behind is Bernie Federko on 84.9. 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.
