"Having known and collaborated with Drew Meekins for over two decades as an athlete, as a coach, as a choreographer, and as a workshop co-presenter, I can speak with utmost confidence about his skills and valuable roles in our skating community.

Drew is passionate about his craft and holds himself to modelling a high standard of excellence for his students. He leads by example and dedicates strong attention to his process, working tirelessly to tailor his lessons and workshops to include an understanding of the building blocks to benefit skaters well beyond their time with him. He demonstrates strong skill in guiding all levels of athletes in both the technical and the artistic domains of skating - a unique skill set that few have mastered at an elite level. He is also a creative and innovative collaborator, valuing others' teamwork and contributions.

If you have the opportunity to work with him, do!"
