Higgs guided his team to a 7-4 victory over Newfoundland and Labrador’s Nathan Young for the territory’s first-ever win at the Canadian men’s curling championship
“I have been a competitive curler for a long time,” Higgs said. “I got to go to the Olympics as a coach but this in front of this crowd today, it was the best moment of my curling life.”Higgs stole a single in the ninth end when Young was heavy with a draw. The 47-year-old team import made a hit and roll in the 10th that was mostly buried and Young’s tricky double-takeout attempt didn’t work out.
Higgs lives in Strathroy, Ont., about a half-hour drive from London. Second Brady St. Louis, an Iqaluit native, is from nearby St. Marys, Ont.Playing on Sheet A by the side boards, the spectators gave the players a standing ovation after the historic win. Higgs raised his broom in the air as the crowd roared its approval.Higgs was 0-7 in his previous Brier appearance in 2020. St. Louis played on the 2021 side that went 0-7 with skip Peter Mackey.
After shaking hands, the Nunavut squad took pictures by the scoreboard featuring the historic result before celebrating with supporters in the stands.
