Why Vladislav Tretiak ranks #14 in Ice Hockey
Vladislav Tretiak ranks 14th among Ice Hockey athletes on GOAT Rank and 265th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 90.5 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 92, Peak 94, Longevity 84, Honours 92, 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 1968–1984 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1972, which sets the Peak component at 94. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 94 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes olympic golds 3, world championship golds 10, soviet league titles 13, soviet player of the year awards 5.
Immediately ahead sits Terry Sawchuk on 89.4, a gap of -1.1 points. Directly behind is Hayley Wickenheiser on 88.8. 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.
