You're not far off there. There's much less leverage on ice than on ground, that's why you don't see many guys who fight get more than a cut or a busted tooth. Solid ground changes everything.

As to the physics, don't forget they are holding onto each-others jerseys.

Ayway, I think most of the fights end without serious injury due to glancing blows off the back of the head...
