He was awarded the Spirit of Sport Story of the Year Award at the Canadian Sport Awards, and the Queen's Golden Jubilee Commemorative Medal for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

In 2012 he received both the St. Michaels University School Distinguished Alumni Award and the University of Victoria Distinguished Alumni Award.
