Higgs played second for
Wayne Tuck, Jr.'s mixed team, that won a provincial championship in 2008–09, giving them the right to represent Ontario at the
2009 Canadian Mixed Curling Championship. The team lost in the final to
Sean Grassie's Manitoba rink. Higgs was also a member of the team that won the 2002 provincial mixed championship. Higgs began skipping a men's team in 2008, which finished fourth place at the
2009 provincial championship. In 2010, his team played in its first
Grand Slam event, losing three straight before being eliminated at the
2010 Players' Championships. Higgs continued to skip his own rink until 2014, when he joined the
Robert Rumfeldt rink, throwing
lead stones for the team for one season. He went back to skipping in 2015 for two seasons before being chosen to coach USA Curling. In 2017, he began skipping an
Iqaluit-based team and won the 2020
Nunavut Brier Playdowns and represented Nunavut at the
2020 Tim Hortons Brier where they finished with a 0–7 record. Representing
Nunavut again at the
2023 Tim Hortons Brier, Higgs defeated
Nathan Young's
Newfoundland and Labrador team to earn the territory's first ever win at the national men's curling championship. ==Personal life==
