Katie Alexandra GlynnMNZM (born 14 March 1989) is a New Zealandfield hockey player.[4] She has competed for theNew Zealand women's national field hockey team, including at the2010 Commonwealth Games, the2012 Summer Olympics and the2014 Commonwealth Games.[1][5]
Glynn was first selected for the Black Sticks Women in June 2009, along with ten other players as the Black Sticks squad was overhauled following its last place finish at the2008 Beijing Olympics.[6]
She was noted for the semi-final match between New Zealand andthe Netherlands at the 2012 Olympics, where eleven minutes into the second half, she was accidentally smacked in the head by the hockey stick of opponent forwardEllen Hoog as Hoog attempted to shoot at goal. Despite the resulting wound in her head requiring five staples and two sutures, Glynn returned to the game later in the second half heavily bandaged, and later was compared to New Zealand cricketerBert Sutcliffe and his return after a head injury in the 1953–54 South African tour.[7][8]
