Frequently Asked Questions

How does Goat Vote determine this season's hockey standings?

We tally every top-ten vote our members have cast this season, awarding points based on rank (first is worth the most, tenth is worth the least).

Which players are eligible?

Only active rookies will be included, regardless of league, nationality, or gender. You can add anyone who's missing.

What are the criteria?

That's up to you. Numbers, highlights, accolades, what a team would look like without them: every member weighs them differently, and the standings are the sum of all those calls.

When can I vote, and how long does voting last?

Voting for a hockey season runs September 1 through August 31. Votes can only be cast for the current season, but standings for previous years are saved forever.

Can I vote more than once?

Absolutely! A free account gets you one ranked ballot per day throughout the season.
