Question

When hockey puck is sliding on the ice it usually performs both linear motion (translation) and rotation. One notices, that the rotation stops exactly at the same moment as the center of mass comes to rest, i.e. the translation ends. Why?

Answer 1

Because it doesn't have a fixed axis to rotate on when translational motion stops......Hence the rotational motion is stopped too

Answer 2

answer:-

because it doesn't have a fixed axis to which it rotates on
