  • Växjö HC was a Swedish ice hockey club based in Växjö, Småland. The club was founded in 1971 as a merger of the ice hockey sections of Östers IF and . Öster had previously played one season, 1963–64, in Division I when it was the highest tier of ice hockey in Sweden. Växjö IK, meanwhile, had never played in the highest league, but had played several seasons in Division 2, most recently in the , which at the time was the second-tier league. For the new joint club's inaugural season in 1971–72, the club took Öster's place in Division 2, and competed as "Växjö HC/Östers IF", finishing third in their group. Växjö HC would yo-yo in and out of Sweden's second highest league, managing play at that level for the final time in 1977–78. After their relegation in 1978, they remained in the lower levels of Swedish hockey until the club filed for bankruptcy and was dissolved in 1997. That same year, Växjö Lakers HC was formed, to maintain the presence of a hockey club in Växjö. In 2011, the Lakers would go on to be promoted to what is today called the SHL, bringing top-tier hockey to Växjö for the first time since the 1963–64 season. (en)
  • Växjö HC var en ishockeyklubb i Växjö i Sverige, bildad 1971 genom en sammanslagning av ishockeysektionen i Östers IF och Växjö IK. Hockeyn i Växjö har dock anor tillbaka till 40-talet och bildandet av 1945. Första banan var en naturisbana vid Strandbjörket. 1959 invigdes Värends konstisbana på samma plats som Växjö ishall senare invigdes 1970. Matchdräkterna hade färgerna orange-gul och blå. Från starten 1971 spelade Växjö HC i dåvarande näst högsta serien, Division II, och vid serieomläggningen 1975 hamnade de i nya tredjeligan med samma namn. Till säsongen 1977/1978 avancerade Växjö HC till Division I, men degraderades redan efter en säsong. Efter det spelade de i Division II till 1988 då de degraderades till Division III. Säsongen 1989/1990 var de t.o.m. nere och vände i Division IV. Inför säsongen 1997/1998 begärdes klubben i konkurs. I dess ställe bildades Växjö Lakers. Den ena företrädaren Östers IF hade spelat en säsong i Sveriges högsta division, 1963/1964. 2011 avancerade efterföljaren till Elitserien. (sv)
