Nicholas "Nick" Wilson (born 6 August 1990) is a New Zealand field hockey striker player. He currently plays for New Zealand's Hockey National Team, the Black Stick men's team. He attended Palmerston North Intermediate Normal School and then on to Palmerston North Boys' High School,[1] where he represented their first eleven team from 2005 to 2007. Wilson spent his final year at Westlake Boys High School in Auckland.[1]
Wilson made his first appearance for 'The Black Sticks' against Korea in New Zealand on November 2007 at the age of 17.[2] He scored his first goal against the number one (at the time) Australian team at Sydney Olympic Park. Known for his attacking style of play, he is touted as one of New Zealand's next field hockey stars.[2]
In 2010, Wilson became the first New Zealander to be nominated for the International Hockey Federation's (FIH) Young Player of the Year award.[3] He was also named in the FIH All Stars team of players who "lit up the hockey world over the past year".[4]
