Hegge began paddling with Kanu Schwaben Augsburg in 2007, following his older brothers into the sport.[8][4] In 2018 he finished his apprenticeship as a pastry chef, and was accepted into the Sportfördergruppe der Bundeswehr, allowing him to commit to his slalom career.[2][1]

Hegge won a gold medal in the K1 team event at the 2022 ICF Canoe Slalom World Championships in Augsburg. He also won a bronze medal in the K1 team event at the 2022 European Championships in Liptovský Mikuláš.

He has won three medals in the K1 team event at the Junior and U23 World Championships, with a gold in 2017, a silver in 2016 (both junior), and a bronze in 2021 (U23).[9] Hegge is also a two-time European Champion in K1 team, winning gold at both the 2020 U23 European Championships in Kraków and 2016 Junior European Championships in Solkan.[6] He finished 11th in the overall World Cup standings in 2021.[10] Hegge earned his best senior World Championship result of 6th at the 2021 event, where Germany fielded all three athletes in the final for the first time since 1995.[11]
