Colin Wilson (born October 20, 1989) is an American professional ice hockey player currently with the Nashville Predators of the National Hockey League.
After initially playing with the U.S. National Development Team Program as a junior, Wilson enrolled to play collegiate hockey with Boston University of the Hockey East.
After his freshman year with the Terriers in 2007–08, he was awarded New England's college hockey Rookie of the Year, as well as Hockey East Rookie of the Year. He was selected in the first round, 7th overall, by the Nashville Predators of the National Hockey League (NHL) in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft.
Wilson led the Terriers in points in his sophomore season. He was recognized as one of the best players in NCAA Division I with his election to the Hobey Hat Trick, a group of three players nominated to win the Hobey Baker Memorial Award. His teammate, Matt Gilroy, eventually won the award. While not winning the Hobey Baker, Colin Wilson was named a first team all American, Hockey East first team, Hockey East leading goal scorer and second in the nation in total points. The Terriers were ranked the #1 team in the nation for much of Wilson's sophomore season, and went on to win the National Championship.
Wilson signed a three-year entry-level contract with Nashville on April 17, 2009. Wilson made his NHL debut with the Predators on October 12, 2009. He scored his first NHL goal on October 21 against Tim Thomas of the Boston Bruins.
Following the 2014–15 NHL season Wilson became a restricted free agent under the NHL Collective Bargaining Agreement. The Nashville Predators made him a qualifying offer to retain his NHL rights and, on July 5, 2015, Wilson filed for Salary Arbitration.
