Answer: The energy of the molecules in the hockey puck decreases.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the temperature of the hockey puck decreases, then the energy of the molecules in the hockey puck decreases as well.

In this scenario, when the temperature of the hockey puck decreases, then the hockey puck will gain heat molecules and the cold energy of the molecules that are in the hockey puck will reduce.
