Stoney replaces Bev Priestman, who was fired after the drone scandal at the Olympic Games in Paris. It was then that Priestman approved the spying on the upcoming opponent New Zealand's training with the help of drones.

Stoney, 42, has signed a three-year contract until the World Championship 2027 and comes from San Diego Wave in the American league, where she was fired last summer. Before that, she was named the American league's best coach in 2022.

As a player, Stoney made 130 international appearances and won a World Championship bronze. She was the captain of the English national team at the Olympic Games on home soil in London 2012.

Canada took Olympic gold in Tokyo 2021 after a penalty shootout in the final against Sweden, while it stopped in the quarterfinals at the Olympic Games in Paris.
