Meteor: Get user information from user profile page

I have a Meteor project with a profile page system setup for each user which I created with the help of this question.

How can I retrieve information from the user's profile for that page in the JS code for my Template.helpers?

Eg. I have the following helper for my profile page

Template.profile.helpers({
  winLoseRatio: function() {
    var wins = 0;
    var losses = 0;

    var ratio = wins/losses;
    ratio = Math.round((ratio * 1000) + 0.000001) / 1000;

    return ratio;
  },
  totalGuesses: function() {
    var wins = 0;
    var losses = 0;

    var total = wins + losses;

    return total;
  }
});

For all the values of 0, I want to get the user's (who's profile I'm on) .profile.stats.wins and .profile.stat.losses field values.

I tried Meteor.userId().profile.stats.wins but that returned the wins of the current logged in your and not the wins of the user who owns the profile page.

All users are available in Meteor.users collection, so:

// Find user with id of currently viewed profile.
var user = Meteor.users.findOne(userId);
if (user) {
    console.log(user.profile.stats.wins);
} else {
    console.log('No user with id', user);
}
