Key Information
CFL
[edit]As a member of the Saskatchewan Roughriders, Neil Habig played center and linebacker. In 7 years (1958–1964), Habig was a CFL 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 BC Lions, so that he never played in a Grey cup game. He was replaced in 1965 by Ted Urness, a CFL All-Star center himself for the next 6 years.
