Throughout her career, she was a key part of the U.S. defense, representing the country on four U.S. Women's National Teams and two U.S. Women's Select Teams. At the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, she posted an impressive plus-7 rating. In 1994, she was also highlighted on a trading card (1994 Classic Women of Hockey #W26). [4]

In 2005, Coyne was chosen to represent athletes on the USA Hockey Board of Directors, and in 2008, she was elected to the organization's executive committee.

[6]

In 2021, she was appointed president of the Boston Pride, a team in the National Women's Hockey League (now the Premier Hockey Federation). In this role, she oversaw business operations, strategic growth, and community outreach, aiming to strengthen the team's presence and promote women's hockey at all levels. [7]
