the department was restarted in 1938 in the sixth division (klass vi) and the team consisted of former players like einar "stor-klas" svensson and gustaf "lulle" johansson. the team only played three league games during this season; but this was enough to win the sixth division and get the team promoted to the fifth division. problems arose when the club tried to recruit new players. those who were asked to join the team thought the inquiry was some kind of joke. however, the club managed to gather enough players to take part in the following season's matches. these players had mainly played bandy and football prior to joining the hockey team. the plan for the coming seasons was to get promoted every year until the club reached the highest division again. thus the 1940s consisted mainly of climbing in the league system.
