McLoughlin holds eight Western Division Scoring Crowns, is a five-time Western Division All-Star and also won the Northern Division All Star [5] and three-time CFL All-Star. He is also a two-time recipient of the CFLPA’s Tom Pate Memorial Award in 1995 and 1997 for his commitment on the football field and in the community.[6]
