Between 1995 and 2003, Wilson played 336 games in the National Hockey League (NHL) with the Buffalo Sabres, Florida Panthers, Pittsburgh Penguins, and New York Rangers. Wilson played the next two seasons in Europe splitting time between Norway, Finland, Switzerland and Austria. Wilson subsequently returned to hockey late in the 2008-09 Season to play for the Trenton Devils of the ECHL. He was given the opportunity by a friend who worked within the organization. He played the final five games of the regular season and the first round of the playoffs, with the team losing in the first round. Wilson returned to the ECHL late in the following season with the Toledo Walleye, again playing a small number of regular season games but no playoff games. He would continue this trend the following season with the games that he played at the end of the regular season being the last of his playing career.
