A perennial Junior A all-star, Wilson ended the 1977 campaign as league leading scorer with 196 points in just 28 games. Dan parlayed his talents in field lacrosse and was a member of the 1978 Team Canada squad.

In nine Western Lacrosse Association seasons for the Adanacs, Bellies and Burrards, he was selected as an all-star on three occasions from 1979 to 1982.

He took WLA Rookie of the Year honours in 1979 while amassing 121 points.

In 205 WLA regular season and playoff games, Wilson scored 238 goals and 386 assists for 624 points. Wilson won one Mann Cup ring in 1985 with New Westminster.

Dan Wilson was also a member of the Team Canada Field Lacrosse Team in 1978 - a team, that in one of the greatest comebacks ever in international lacrosse competition - won the 1978 World Championship with a 17-16 double overtime victory over a stunned U.S. team after losing to that team in round robin play by a score of 28 -4
