Stone served as the head coach of the U.S. Women's National Under-18 Team that won the first-ever IIHF World Women's U-18 Championship in January 2008. Team USA defeated Canada, 5-2, in the finals after downing the Czech Republic, 8-0, in the semifinals. En route to the championship, the U.S. beat Russia, Switzerland and Sweden in the first round.
Stone also led the U.S. Women's Under-18 Team at the 2007 Under-18 Series and previously guided the U.S. Women's Under-22 Select Team at the 2006 Under-22 Series.

A finalist for this season's American Hockey Coaches Association Coach of the Year and the winner of the ECAC Coach of the Year award, Stone helped Harvard to a 32-2-0 overall record and guided the team to its fifth trip to the NCAA Frozen Four.
