As snow becomes hard and packed it can be very slippery. The coefficent of friciton is then less then when the tires are on pavement which means that the "sticky" force is not as great holding the tires and the snow covered road together. In these conditions the car tires begin to slip as they try to grip onto the road but the static frictional force to get the car going is not there and as a result the car tires spin in the snow.

Because friction is a force acting against the forward motion of the puck, friction is going to play a role in slowing down the puck as it glides across the ice. The friction is not going to be great enough to stop it instantly, but if not touched by another stick for some time it will come to a stop.
