Yes a cold dry puck will slide much better than a wet puck. If your puck is held in your hand and becomes warm, the puck will stick...
so that the hockey puck can slide once been hit.
The temperature of any object does not change its weight. This is discussed in the ccientific principle called the "Law of Conservation of Mass". The puck will be harder and slightly smaller when frozen.
They freeze the pucks so that it can slide better.
Yes, because it helps the puck slide better on the ice.
No. It was actually a tennis ball. The first "puck" was a ball with the top and bottom chopped off.
When a hockey puck is frozen, it becomes harder and less elastic, which reduces its ability to compress upon impact. This lack of compression results in less energy being absorbed from the impact, causing the puck to bounce less.

A hockey puck
On the ice, a hockey puck is pushing against much less surface friction, so it will slide with relative ease. On the street, a puck is forced to push against the pavement which it cannot do very well causing it to either stop or bounce across the surface.
THE PUCK, you play hockey to get the puck.
The smooth surface of the ice rink offers less resistance to the puck compared to the rough concrete surface. The reduced friction allows the puck to slide more easily and travel further on the ice rink. On the other hand, the uneven texture of the concrete surface creates more friction, making it harder for the puck to slide smoothly.
Means when the puck is frozen to travel faster
