The name adopted was Husqvarna / Vätterstads IF. On September 7 of the same year, it is decided that the team's official name will henceforth be the abbreviation HV71. However, the club's ancestry goes back another two and a half decades. Ice hockey in Jönköping got its start in the formation of the pure ice hockey club SK Dacke in January 1945. Its members urge the public via an article in Smålands Folkblad on 19 January the same month, to stop at Rocksjön and with joint efforts make a course available for the puck sport distribution in Jönköping. This is also carried out and a fairly lively activity begins on the northern shores of Rocksjön. In the wake of this, the "Working Committee for A6 IF, Jönköpings CK and SK Dacke" is formed, which later adopts the name Jönköpings Hockeyallians. The Alliance's primary purpose is to establish a municipal facility. After the municipality allocated land, long credits were granted, and the Swedish Ice Hockey Association shot to SEK 750, the first municipal ice rink was completed on Oxbacken in January 1946. Oxbacken was located outside the northwest corner of the A6's front façade. On the first of February 1946, it is then the world premiere for hockey in Jönköping, when a Småland combination receives Nackalaget, Atlas Diesels IF in front of thousands of paying spectators. Klubbhockeyn tar dock inte ordentlig fart förrän på hösten samma år. Den 29 oktober 1946 uppmanar Hockeyalliansen brevledes 15 klubbar, att ansluta till alliansen, för att genomföra seriespel. Så sker också och under säsongen, 46/47, spelas Division 1 Nordvästra Småland i en enkelserie som fick följande utseende: VÄTTERSNÄS IF 8 7 1 0 30-11 15 TABERGS SK 8 7 0 1 56-11 14 IK STEFA 8 5 2 1 40-20 12 HUSQVARNA IF 8 4 1 3 22-29 9 NORRAH.
