Why Tom Johnson ranks #218 in Ice Hockey

Tom Johnson ranks 218th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 2612th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 83.8 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 78, Peak 88, Longevity 82, Honours 90, Statistics 82. 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 1947–1965 with 19 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1958, 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 6, norris trophies 1, nhl games 978, career points 264.

Immediately ahead sits Cam Neely on 83.7, a gap of -0.1 points. Directly behind is Hap Day on 83.8. 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.
