As a junior, LeDrew represented Newfoundland and Labrador at the Canadian Junior Curling Championships after winning the junior provincial championship five times (1998,[2] 2001,[3] 2002,[4] 2003[5] & 2004[6]).

After a successful 2012-2013 season, Team Mouzar secured a berth at the 2013 Ontario Scotties Tournament of Hearts. Despite the team coming up short, LeDrew was selected by the eventual winning team, Rachel Homan and her rink, to represent team Ontario, playing fifth, at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts in Kingston, Ontario. Team Ontario defeated Jennifer Jones and Team Manitoba to win the 2013 Scotties Tournament of Hearts and become Team Canada. The team represented Canada 2013 World Women's Curling Championship in Riga, Latvia in March 2013, where they won a bronze medal, although LeDrew did not play in a single match.
