HV71 (women)

They play in Jönköping, in the southern Swedish province of Småland, at Husqvarna Garden.

The club was originally formed independently in March 2002 as Jönköpings IF Queens, after neither local professional men's teams – HV71 of the Swedish Hockey League nor HC Dalen of Hockeyettan – were willing to start women's divisions.

The following season, after the HV71 board decided to substantially increase investment into the women's side, more than doubling the club's budget and making big signings such as Jenni Asserholt and Fanny Rask, the team earned promotion back to the SDHL.

Hours before the second game Luleå team staff claimed to have two cases of COVID-19, players being defender Johanna Fällman and goalie Sara Grahn.

No proof of symptoms or test results was ever provided by Luleå and, shortly after, the finals were canceled Luleå management stated to local media NSD that no players in fact ever had symptoms of COVID-19.
