Husqvarna IF is a sports club in Huskvarna, Sweden. It was founded on 22 September 1904. It supported clubs in various sports, including bandy, football, and ice hockey. The ice hockey section merged with Vätterstads IK in 1971 to form Huskvarna/Vätterstads IF, though the club was soon thereafter renamed to HV71.
In late 2009, after years of inactivity, the activity was resumed again.[1]
