Why Ulf Samuelsson ranks #133 in Ice Hockey
Ulf Samuelsson ranks 133rd among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 1733rd of 2289 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 80.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 72, Peak 84, Longevity 86, Honours 82, Statistics 78. Those categories are normalised against the full Ice Hockey reference universe of 399 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1983–2000 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1985, which sets the Peak component at 84. Longevity is the defining strength of the profile at 86 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes stanley cups 2, nhl games played 1080, career points 391, world championship medals 2.
Immediately ahead sits Rusty Crawford on 80.2, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Sara Grahn on 80.1. 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.
