COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Katey Stone, The Landry Family Head Coach for Harvard Women's Ice Hockey, has been named head coach of the U.S. Women's National Program throughout the 2010-11 season, the league announced Thursday. Stone will assume control of the program that boasts a number of former and current Harvard student-athletes within its ranks.

Stone's first action as head coach will be at the USA Hockey Women's National Festival in Lake Placid, N.Y., in August. She will also be behind the bench for the 2010 Women's Four Nations Cup in Canada in November and the 2011 International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) World Women's Championship in Switzerland in April, 2011.

Stone is coming off a landmark season with the Crimson, as she became the winningest coach in collegiate women's hockey history, collecting her 339th career win as a head coach. Stone also led Harvard to a 20-8-5 overall record in 2009-10 and its eighth NCAA tournament appearance in program history.
