Still only in her 40s, Harvard University’s Katey Stone already is the winningest women’s hockey coach in Division 1 history with more than 350 career victories.

She’s earned numerous Coach of the Year awards from a variety of outlets and organizations, guided her squad to the 1999 AWCHA national championship and three NCAA finals appearances, and won 10 Beanpot titles, five ECAC tournament championships, six ECAC regular-season titles and five Ivy League crowns. This magazine even rated her No. 33 on our list of the “Top 50 Most Influential People in New England Hockey” three years ago.

Equally, if not more impressive, than all of those accolades, she also has presided over the U.S. Women’s National Team since 2010 and has a drawer full of medals, most recently leading her team to the gold medal last month at the 2011 Four Nations Cup in Sweden, culminated by a shootout victory over rival Canada.
