A finalist for the Rhodes Scholarship, Meredith attended the University of Notre Dame, where he set the Notre Dame all-time goals record, with 104.[2]

Meredith was a sixth-round selection, 97th overall by the Atlanta Flames in the 1978 NHL Entry Draft. He then played 43 games in the National Hockey League for the Calgary Flames in 1980–81 and 1982–83, recording six goals and four assists in the regular season, and three goals and one assist in five playoff games.
