Nick Wilson's back in the Black Sticks

23 December 2020

The two-time Olympian hasn't been with the side since the 2016 Rio Olympics, after choosing to focus on his career as a commercial real estate agent.

Central Falcons duo Sean Findlay and Sam Hiha and Oliver MacIntyre of the Hauraki Mavericks, are the uncapped players in the 2021 squad.

Veteran striker Simon Child has made himself unavailable for the first part of 2021 as he continues to balance work, family and hockey commitments.
