[edit] History

HV71 was founded on May 24, 1971, as a merger between Husqvarna IF and Vätterstads IK, and took the name Huskvarna/Vätterstads IF but later that year it was shortened to the current name HV71. The club first entered the top Swedish league, Elitserien, in 1979, but were soon relegated. They won promotion again in 1985-86 and have remained in the top division ever since and are as of the 2000s a well-established top club in Sweden. The club has won the national championship twice; 1995 and 2004. For a few years in the late 1990s, HV71 was also called the Blue Bulls.^[1]

Many Swedes associate HV71 with the club's old arena Rosenlundshallen, which was inaugurated in 1958 as Sweden's first indoor ice hockey arena, but was replaced in 2000 with the new and improved Kinnarps Arena. As the new arena was build around and on top of Rosenlundshallen, HV71 practiacally played its games during the season 1999-00 in a construction site.^[1]

[edit] Playoffs

HV71 won its first national championship season 1994-95 as the last (8th) team to qualify for the playoffs. The club is the only team in Swedish history to win the finals after ending as the 8th team at the end of the regular season. The second championship was won during the season 2003-04 after beating MODO Hockey with a 4-2 game serie, Frölunda HC with 4-2 in games in the semi-finals, and then winning the finals with a 4-3 match serie against Färjestads BK. In the quarter-finals HV71 set a new Swedish record of scoring the most goals in one period with their seven against MODO Hockey. The game ended with a 10-1 victory.^[2]

HV71 finished the regular season 2005-06 as winner of the regular season. For the first time in HV71's history the club faced Mora IK in the quarter-finals, winning the match serie with 4-1. In the semi-finals the club was pitted against Färjestads BK. The match serie did not have a winner until the last minute of the seventh game. Färjestads BK scored two goals in a matter of seconds during the last minutes of the game and thus ending HV71's season.^{[citation needed]}
