Katey Stone, the Landry Family Head Coach for Harvard Women’s Ice Hockey has amassed 476 victories over the course of her storied career. One of the most successful coaches in the history of the women’s collegiate game, Stone has spent all 24 of her seasons as a head coach with the Crimson and will embark on her 25th season at the helm in 2019-20.

The 2013-14 season marked the first time since 1993-94 that Stone had not been on the bench with Harvard, as she served as the head coach of the United States Olympic Women's Ice Hockey team at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. Stone was named the head coach of the 2014 United States Olympic Women's Ice Hockey Team on June 8, 2012. As the first-ever female head coach of a USA Hockey team in the Olympics, Stone led the Americans to the silver medal in Sochi, taking part in the gold medal game versus rival Canada.

Prior to her time in Sochi, she led the USA to gold at the 2013 IIHF Women's World Championships, where the United States upended Canada, 3-2. Before that, Stone led the Red, White and Blue to silver at the 2012 IIHF Women's World Championship in Burlington, Vt., and gold at the 2011 IIHF Women's World Championship in Zurich, Switzerland. Aside from the success on the World Championships stage, Stone has guided the Americans in five Four Nations Cups in total, including leading the U.S. to gold in 2008, 2011 and 2012.

While in Cambridge, Stone has led the Crimson to an incredible 429-177-38 (.697) record in her tenure following the 2014-15 campaign, including the 1999 AWCHA national championship, four appearances in the NCAA championship game (2003, 2004, 2005, 2015), 11 NCAA tournament appearances in the event’s 15-year history, seven ECAC regular-season titles, six ECAC tournament championships, eight Ivy League titles and 11 Beanpots. Stone is just the fourth coach in women’s college hockey history to win 300 games and became the first to reach the 400-win plateau during the 2012-13 campaign. 

Stone, who appeared 33rd on New England Hockey Journal’s “Top 50 Most Influential People in New England Hockey,” took the coaching reins from John Dooley prior to the 1994-95 season and posted a 12-11-2 mark in her first year at the helm. The squad finished just under .500 over the next three seasons, but Stone orchestrated an extraordinary turnaround within the program, improving from 14-16-0 in 1997-98 to a program-record 33-1-0 and claiming a national championship in 1998-99. That year, the team closed the season with 30 consecutive victories, culminating in a thrilling 6-5 overtime win over New Hampshire in the AWCHA National Championship.
