The hockey puck is a central symbol of domestic origin for the sports fans of Jesenice. The underpass connecting the railway station to the Podmežakla sports hall is swarmed by a roaring red horde, whose cheers and slogans continue to encourage the hockey players of Jesenice in the fight against the green. What Šiška is to Olimpija, Kurja Vas is to Jesenice - the district that provided the most hockey players. Because of the perpetual shade that preserved the frost on this side of the Sava, even long after the other side had already harvested their lettuce, hockey has always been taken for granted here. It is also known that practically every household in the vicinity of the legendary hall of Jesenice Hockey Club has contributed at least one hockey player.
