Scott Boyde (born 5 August 1994)[1] is an Australian born field hockey player, who plays as a forward for the New Zealand national field hockey team.[2] He also formerly represented Australia in 2016.
Scott Boyde was born and raised in Brisbane, Queensland.[3]
Boyde is a member of the Brisbane Blaze in Hockey Australia's national league, the JDH Hockey One. He made his debut in the inaugural season of the league.[4] [5]
In 2016, Boyde made his debut for the Australian national team, the Kookaburras. He appeared at the Trans–Tasman Trophy in Auckland, and the International Festival of Hockey in Victoria.[6]
Following a seven–year hiatus from international hockey, Boyde returned to the international scene in 2023 with the New Zealand Black Sticks. As his parents are of New Zealand descent, Boyde was eligible to represent his parents' home nation, thus receiving a call up from head coach, Greg Nicol.[2] He made his Black Sticks debut during season four of the FIH Pro League.[6] [2] He followed this up with a silver medal showing at the Oceania Cup in Whangārei.[7]
Boyde has been named in the official Black Sticks squad for the 2024 season.[8]
