The 2025 World Championships will take place in Stockholm, Sweden, and Herning, Denmark, from May 8 to May 25, and you can see a few New York Islanders taking part.
Bo Horvat: Team Canada
Quote: "It's definitely been talked about. I haven't made a decision or anything yet, but it's definitely something to consider, and a pretty big year, Olympic-wise, next year. I think it'd be a good stepping stone for me to go prove myself and represent my country. And if I do get that opportunity, I'll take it."
History: 2014 World Junior U-20 Championships: one goal, two assists in 7 GP; 2018 World Championships (Silver): three goals, four assists in 10 GP
Noah Dobson: Team Canada
Quotes: "It's definitely a thought. I'll use the next day or so to process the options and figure out what's best. But I'm definitely interested, for sure [...] If I went, it would be my first one. So I don't know exactly what it's like, but I know just the mindset going into is, for me, I only played 70 games this year. My body feels pretty good. And also, with the Olympics coming up, it's an opportunity to represent your country and put yourself in a position to get on the radar going into next season. Just going to the summer, feeling good and hopefully try and win a gold medal."
