Nicholas "Nick" Spaling (born September 19, 1988) is a Canadian professional ice hockey centre currently playing with Genève-Servette HC of the National League A (NLA). He was drafted 58th overall by the Nashville Predators in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft. He played his three-year major junior career with the Kitchener Rangers of the Ontario Hockey League.
Spaling grew up playing most of his minor hockey for his hometown Drayton Defenders of the Ontario Minor Hockey Association (OMHA) before playing high school hockey for Norwell District Secondary School at age 16.
Spaling went undrafted in the OHL after his minor midget season and signed as a free agent with the Listowel Cyclones Jr. B. club of the OHA. After a solid season with the Cyclones, Spaling was chosen in the sixth round of 2005 OHL Priority Selection as a major midget-aged player by the Kitchener Rangers.
Prior to playing in the OHL, Spaling played with the Listowel Cyclones of the Mid-Western Junior Hockey League. The Cyclones had won the league's Cherry Cup, despite placing seventh (of nine teams) in the regular season. This was the team's only league title in the MWJBHL, although they had won the 1976–77 title while in the Central Junior "C" Hockey League.
The Kitchener Rangers selected Spaling in the sixth round of the 2005 OHL Priority Draft, 118th overall. He played with the Rangers for the duration of his OHL career from 2005 to 2008. He was named the Kitchener Rangers' rookie of the year for the 2005–06 season.
