The team won the Newfoundland and Labrador Tankard, earning the team the right to represent the province at the 2006 Tim Hortons Brier, where the team finished with a 2–9 record and missed the playoffs.
LeDrew represented Memorial University at the 2008 and 2009 CIS/CCA Curling Championships. He won the fair play award in 2009. [2]
