Born in Swift Current, Saskatchewan, Habscheid's parents were both born in Luxembourg before moving to Canada.

He also played in the 1982 World Junior Hockey Championship, leading Canada to its first ever gold medal at the tournament. That season he played 7 games with the Oilers, scoring 4 points.
