No, the puck cannot accelerate because the exact moment the hockey stick touches the puck, that will be the maximum speed it will reach. for the puck to go faster, it would need extra propulsion methods. Ice would not make it go faster.

How does inertia affect the motion of a hockey puck?

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion. In the case of a hockey puck, its inertia will determine how difficult it is to start or stop its motion, as well as how it will maintain its speed and direction once it is in motion. This makes it important for players to apply the right amount of force to overcome the puck's inertia and control its movement effectively on the ice.
