CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Katey
Stone, the Landry Family Head Coach for Harvard
Women’s Ice Hockey, will continue her position as head coach
of the U.S. Women’s National Team through the 2011-12 season,
USA Hockey announced on Thursday, June 10. Stone was initially
named head coach of the U.S. squad on June 24, 2010.
Her first season at helm of the National Team was a successful one,
beginning with a national team camp that she oversaw in Lake
Placid, N.Y., last August. From there, Stone led the red, white and
blue to a runner-up finish at the 2010 Four Nations Cup in St.
John’s, N.L., dropping a 3-2 overtime decision to archrival
Canada in the final. Stone helped Team USA close the 2010-11
campaign on a high note as the squad captured its third-straight
IIHF World Women’s Championship title, downing Canada, 3-2,
in overtime in the championship match.
Stone will begin the 2011-12 campaign with the USA Hockey
Women’s National Festival Aug. 12-20 in Blaine, Minn., and
will see the team compete in the IIHF 12 Nations Tournament (Aug.
23-31), the 2011 Four Nations Cup (Nov. 9-14) and the 2012 IIHF
Women’s World Championship (April 7-14). She will also
oversee the USA Hockey Women’s Winter Training Camp Dec.
26-31.
Entering her 18th season behind the Harvard bench, Stone remains
the winningest coach in Division I collegiate women’s hockey
with a career record of 356-155-31. Last season, she led the
Crimson to a 17-11-4 record, a runner-up finish in the regular
season conference standings and a berth in the ECAC semifinal
round.
