The women's hockey team won New Zealand hockey it's first ever Commonwealth Games gold medal.
New Zealand team chef de mission Rob Waddell who made the appointment says the women's hockey team story has been one of determination and comeback having missed out on gold at both the Delhi and Glasgow Commonwealth Games.
Waddell says while credit must go to the whole team for their success Michaelson's leadership has been key to that.
Michelsen will lead a team of around 250 members of the New Zealand team into the Commonwealth Games Closing Ceremony tonight.
