In addition to basketball, McLaughlin has done work as the studio host of St. Louis Blues hockey on both radio and television broadcasts.
A 1996 graduate of Lindenwood University, where he played baseball, Dan began his professional broadcasting career at KMOX Radio and in 2001, he won the A.I.R. Award as St. Louis' best sportscaster. McLaughlin, 43, was inducted into the Vianney High School Hall of Fame in 2005. He also received the prestigious Burnes/Broeg Award from the Missouri Athletic Club for his contributions to the city of St. Louis through sports. Away from the booth, he serves on the boards and is active in numerous local charities including "The Dan McLaughlin Golf Tournament" which has raised nearly 3-million dollars for children with disabilities.
