Nick Wilson is chasing the dream of competing in his third Olympic games as well as an elusive Olympic medal. "Black Sticks hockey player Nick Wilson has returned to the national side for one last tilt at an Olympic medal.


Wilson is back on home turf in Palmerston North next week as the men’s Black Sticks prepare for a four-test series against Australia this week and it will be Wilson’s first tests for New Zealand in five years.


The series will be the Black Sticks’ final outing before the Tokyo Olympics, which will be Wilson’s last hurrah, as he is retiring after the games.


The prolific striker has played 170 tests since his 2007 debut, but after the 2016 Rio Olympics he took a break from the game."https://www.stuff.co.nz/.../black-sticks-striker-wilson...
