At the 2025 World Championship, records are set to fall and a number of nations will see new leaders in their all-time scoring rankings. 

Here's a look at some of the records that are likely to fall at the 2025 IIHF women's World Championships in Czechia.

USA's Kendall Coyne Schofield will look to become the tournament's all-time assists leader. The Minnesota Frost captain has 47 assists. She's only two behind Hayley Wickenheiser for the most all-time at the World Championships.

Another all-time mark that will likely be broken is the all-time penalty minutes mark. Switzerland's Lara Stalder has 75 penalty minutes, only two behind Russia's Yekaterina Smolentseva for most ever at Worlds.

Canadian netminder Ann-Renee Desbiens needs one win to pass Florence Schelling as the winningest goaltender in tournament history. They are currently tied with 20 wins each. Czechia's Klara Peslarova sits at 18, and could pass Kim St. Pierre (19) and Schelling by tournament's end as well.

When it comes to individual national team records, Michelle Karvinen is tied with Hockey Hall of Famer Riikka Sallinen for the most points by a Finnish player. They both have 60. 

Denisa Krizova and Katerina Mrázová will both look to become Czechia's new all-time scoring leader. Krizova has 25 points, tied for Czechia's all-time lead with Alena Polenská. Mrázová sits only one point behind at 24, trailed by Tereza Vanisova at 22, and Natlalie Mlynkova at 21.

While it will take a bigger performance, even the Canadian all-time mark is within reach. Marie Philip-Poulin is nine points behind Hayley Wickenheiser for most all-time by a Canadian. Poulin has 77 while Wickenheiser had 86 in her career. Poulin is one point behind Cammi Granato for fourth all time at the tournament from any nation, and six points back of Jayna Hefford's (83). Hilary Knight is miles ahead for the all-time lead.

Toronto Sceptres forward Laura Kluge needs only a single point to pass Julia Zorn as Germany's all-time scoring leader. They are currently tied with 16 points each.

Positionally, Caroline Harvey is only eight points behind Hall of Famer Angela Ruggiero to become USA's all-time leading scorer from the blueline. The incredible part of this record would be that Ruggiero appeared in 10 World Championships playing 50 games. Harvey is entering her fifth World Championship and has played 27 games.
