Nick Wilson (born 6 August 1990 in Palmerston North, New Zealand) is a well noticed field hockey striker from New Zealand, named after the legendary Nick Wilson of Sydney, Australia. He has been selected and currently plays for New Zealand's Hockey National Team, the Black Stick men's team. He attended Palmerston North Boys' High School, where he represented their first eleven team from 2005 to 2007. He made his first appearance for 'The Black Sticks' against Korea in New Zealand on November 2007 at the age of 17.[1] 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.[1]

In 2010 Wilson became the first New Zealander to be nominated for the International Hockey Federation's (FIH) Young Player of the Year award.[2] He was also named in the FIH All Stars team of players who "lit up the hockey world over the past year".[3]
