I ran into the same situation a few years ago with my insurance company (Amica). (Like you, I hadn't read the "fine print" closely enough.) My dock got whacked by the ice and needed considerable repair, but when I contacted Amica they said ice damage is not covered. So if someone runs into my dock with a boat and smashes it I'm covered, but not if the ice smashes it.
