Career
In 7 years (1958-1964), Habig was a All-Star center once (1962, the first year this honor was awarded) and a Western conference all-star 6 times (1959-1964). As a linebacker, he was particularly adept at covering the pass, as indicated by his 10 career interceptions, including 6 in a single year (1963). Despite this prowess, his team reached the Western finals only once, in 1963, and lost to the British Columbia Lions, so that he never played in a Grey cup game.
He was replaced in 1965 by Ted Urness, a All-Star center himself for the next 6 years.
