ČESKÉ BUDĚJOVICE, Czechia – Marie-Philip Poulin beat Hayley Wickenheiser’s career points record at the IIHF Women’s World Championship on Saturday night.
With a goal in the first period of the semifinals against Finland, Poulin scored her 87th career point at women’s worlds, making her the highest-scoring Canadian ever at the tournament. Poulin is now second all-time in tournament scoring behind U.S. forward Hilary Knight (119), who first broke Wickenheiser’s record in 2022.

“What can you say,” Canada’s head coach Troy Ryan told The Athletic. “She’s the most special player I’ve ever coached. There’s very few people that have the high skill level that she has and the ability to play under pressure that she can. It’s just so consistent too, there’s just never an off night when the stage is set.”
Poulin — who made her worlds debut in 2009 — is playing in her 13th women’s world championships. On Thursday night, in a 9-1 quarterfinals win against Japan, Poulin played her 200th game for the Canadian women’s national team, just the fourth player to ever to hit that milestone behind Wickenheiser, Jayna Hefford and Caroline Ouellette.

Canada’s captain might not care much for individual accomplishments, but this is yet another one in a career full of them. In over a decade on the national women’s team, Poulin has emerged as not just a top Canadian athlete, but the best player in the world. She currently leads the 2025 women’s worlds in scoring (10) through six games, and will likely be a major player in another gold medal showdown against the U.S. on Sunday.
Last year, Poulin scored two goals in the championship game, a breathtaking 6-5 Canadian overtime win on U.S. soil. In 2022, she scored the game-winning goal at the 2022 Olympics in Beijing, which was Poulin’s third golden goal in four Olympic final appearances, becoming the only hockey player — male or female — to score in four straight gold medal games at the Olympics.
“She’s one of a kind,” Canadian general manager Gina Kingsbury told The Athletic in January. “And we’re just so lucky she’s Canadian.”

Fernandez on target as Rangers edge Hibernian to move up to third
Rangers moved into third place in the Scottish Premiership with a 1-0 win over Hibernian although Danny Röhl’s side provided little inspiration for most of the night at Ibrox.The Gers fans had begun to grumble about their disjointed side when defender Emmanuel Fernandez netted with a header in the 34th minute for his third goal in 10 appearances and it proved enough to secure all three points. Rangers were all but knocked out of the Europa League on Thursday night with a 2-1 away defeat to Ferencvaros, which left them with one point from 18 in Europe. However, Röhl has found domestic duties less demanding since taking over from Russell Martin and now has six wins and two draws in eight fixtures without finding top form.Nevertheless, Rangers moved to within nine points of leaders Hearts - whom they face at […]
