"Hockey has long been one of most prominent sports in North America. Since its rise in popularity in the twentieth century, many have asked: who is the greatest hockey player of all time? From National Hockey League legends like Wayne Gretzky to modern-day stars like Sidney Crosby, Alexander Ovechkin, and Connor McDavid, many players have written their name into the record books. Whether by goals scored or championships won, each has made their case on the ice. In this [book] . . . the argument is made using math and statistical analysis to answer the age-old questions of greatness"--Amazon.

"To investigate the question of who is soccer's GOAT, fans can turn to facts and figures. The number of goals scored is an important statistic. But is it the only one that is important when evaluating a player's career? What about a player's longevity--how many games and minutes he played? What is their strike rate or goals per game? . . . How did the player perform when the stage was the biggest and the pressure was the highest? While the numbers might not reveal a clear cut winner, they may help fans reach their own conclusions about which soccer player has earned the title of the GOAT"--Provided by publisher.
